The actor between dictatorship and post-dictatorship. Corporealities in conflict in Argentine cinema and theatre during the return of democracy (1983/1989)

We propose to analyze the acting in cinema and theater of the argentine democratic return, in order to highlight its political dimension implied. Thanks to the willingness to represent the recent past, acting in films will be limited to the realism. But at the same time, new expressions of young artists based in the irruption of the body and sexuality emerged in the theater. We believe that this aggressive deployment of a revulsive, offset and young corporality, constituted a vital affirmation before the horror of the dictatorship. In addition, these experiences reacted to the imposition of an acting performance at the service of transmission of a message, imaginary of "productive body" present in realism, but also in groups militants of the 70s.
