Constellation Kartun/Perrone: Neoliberal theater, cinema and culture

Abstract

The following article aims to analyze the artistic constellation formed by the play Desde la lona, by Mauricio Kartún, and the film Graciadió, by Raúl Perrone, considering the relationship with the time in which they premiered. This perspective aims at highlighting the key role that art has as an epistemological tool and as builder of realities. We will try to elucidate the different ways that the tensions and contradictions adopted within the Argentine neoliberal culture, delving into quotidian aspects. We will also aim at raising awareness of two temporal hostilities that, not considered successive any longer, coexist in the same present.
