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.
The book studies Paquita la del Barrio, Francis, Astrid Hadad, Jesus Rodríguez y Tito Vasconcelos. According to the author, all of the performers "have 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".
Teatro de cabaret: Imaginarios disidentes examina al teatro de cabaret como un espacio lúdico y flexible, privilegiado por su directa relación con el entorno sociopolítico y que, por su trabajo con la corporalidad, permite entender las diversas manifestaciones de disidencia política y sexual en el México contemporáneo.
A juicio del autor, aunque el teatro de cabaret tiene una rica historia en América Latina, no ha recibido la atención crítica que se merece. Este libro contribuye a esa historia desde el caso particular del Distrito Federal, México. Se analiza este discurso teatral a partir de sus raíces en la tradición popular y se muestran sus imbricaciones con los imaginarios sociales mexicanos del cuerpo y la sexualidad. Se analizan además los precedentes históricos y artísticos del género del cabaret.
