The absurd and transgression to the police in the theater and contemporary argentine cinema: analysis of a intermedial dialogue

Abstract

This article aims to clarify the productivity of the argentinian theater scene of the nineties in the new century cinema from the examination of topical and narrative and expressive procedures. We propose to look at the articulation of both languages through the analysis of intermedial dialogue and parody present in La escala humana (2001) by Alejandro Tantanián, Javier Daulte and Rafael Spregelburd and in Castro (2009) by Alejo Moguillansky. In addition to developing their speeches through similar scriptural procedures, we can identify in both textualities the absurdist aesthetics as an underlying structure and the systematic transgression of the rules of the detective genre.
