Puentes transdisciplinarios en la escena mexicana contemporánea: Esclavo por su patria de Nicolás Núñez (2009) y su relación con El Príncipe constante de Calderón de la Barca (1629) y la versión de Jerzy Grotowski (1965)

Abstract

Esclavo por su patria (2009) is a contemporary Mexican stage creation linked to theatrical productions from different spatial and temporal contexts, namely: El Príncipe constante, by Pedro Calderón de la Barca (Madrid, 1629) and the version of the same by Jerzy Grotowski (Wroclaw, 1965). My intention in this essay is to identify, from a transdisciplinary and specifically transcultural perspective, the frontiers that separate them and the ethical and aesthetic bridges that unite them. From the latter, I assert, it is possible to reach a better understanding of the life-death relationship not only in the context of the current situation in Mexico, characterized by violence and the deterioration of the social network, but also on a global level.
