Main Article Content

Abstract

The article seeks to examine different forms of inscription of spectacles and theatrical activities present in a group of modern Argentine films. From the filmic analysis of productions made between 1954 and 1976, the text will try to lay out the existence of two complementary modalities: the references to the theatrical universe as a specular mechanism that allows to verify the search of a horizontal consecration between both disciplines; and the inclusion of theatrical elements as a resource that enables the appearance of a mise en abyme of representation.
