Abstract

When analyzing post-dramatic theater, the critique, both from the academy and the media, reveals a kind of hermeneutic uneasiness which is often resolved by pointing out different degrees of reality on stage. Although pertinent, this mechanism works as an interpretative limitation. This article intends to propose the translation theory as a possible key of reading in order to overcome or, at least, to complement that critical limitation. With this aim, the author considers the staging of Los muertos (Ensayo sobre representaciones de la muerte en la Argentina) (2006) by Beatriz Catani and Mariano Pensotti, based on «The dead», the welllknown James Joyce´short story
