Teatro de Cabaret: Imaginarios
disidentes (Cabaret Theatre: Dissident Imaginaries) studies
the cabaret as a ludic and flexible space, which by its direct relationship
to social and political context, becomes an ideal cultural object to understand
the political and sexual dissidence of contemporary Mexico.
Although cabaret theater has a
long history in Latin America, there are few studies of it. This book studies
the specific case of Mexico City. It examines this theatrical tradition
from the point of view of its popular roots and shows its relationship
to Mexican social and sexual imaginaries. The author refers also to historical
and artistic antecedents of the genre.
Cabaret theatre: Dissident Imaginaries studies Paquita la del Barrio, Francis, Astrid Hadad, Jesus Rodríguez y Tito Vasconcelos. According to the author, all of the performers ģhave converted their bodies into staging objects, from which they make fun of, resist and, sometimes, reinforce the rules that the official Mexican culture has imposed on them.ī
