Abstract
The aim of this article is to provide an outline of the contemporary theatre writing in Colombia by studying six representative dramatic works. An abandonment of Classical Theatre structures and the reinvention after the predominance of Collective Creation until the late 80s define these artistic expressions. Thus, a register of emerging authors’ voices sets apart from prior didactical strategies in search of a playwriting that focuses mainly in the individual view. Likewise, in this work we revise the transformation of the visions over the phenomenon of violence, which has traditionally been central to Colombian playwrights.
