Looking at the Colombian infantile dramaturgy

Abstract

This article is the synthesis of research results Aproximación a un diagnóstico sintáctico del texto teatral dirigido al público infantil en Colombia en el periodo 1995-2005 (Approach to a syntactic diagnosis of the theatrical text aimed at children in Colombia during the period 1995-2005) developed by the authors of the present paper. The main interest is to conduct a study on Colombian infantile dramaturgy, through the analysis of some structural features of dramatic composition of this type of theatre. This qualitative research was exploratory-descriptive level, initially located and identified the children’s plays produced during the study period. After recognizing some their features, proceeded to identify whether the judgments and concepts that are generally used around the children's theatre within the theatre industry are adequate or not, to generate an assessment about the state of the theatrical text, not from a single judgement without foundation, but compared with studies and theoretical reflections on drama and theatrical semiology.
