Between wages and sheets: men, masculinities, and theatre of the oppressed ; Entre salarios y sábanas: varones, masculinidades y teatro de lxs oprimidxs

In this article I propose to explore the possibilities of the theatre of the oppressed for working with men and masculinities.

Para ello, ofrezco una reflexión en torno a las implicancias de articular ambos campos, toda vez que el teatro de lxs oprimidxs cuestiona la posibilidad de trabajar con ‘opresores’, esto tendiendo en consideración que los varones ocupan estructuralmente una posición de poder y privilegio en el sistema patriarcal. No obstante, la reflexión apunta a visibilizar, adicionalmente, las posiciones de subordinación que ocupan los varones, en tanto existen experiencias alternativas a la masculinidad hegemónica.
