Abstract:
The article consists in crossing decolonial studies, history and aesthetics. I highlight how the Modernity/Coloniality dualism not only creates an epistemic hegemony but also an aesthetical domination, and I show the postmodern theater unability to untangle itself from the colonial roots of power. Through the analysis of Kay pacha - written by the equatorian activist and playwriter Juan Francisco Moreno Montenegro - I determine the defining features of a decolonial work. In doing so I carry out an epistemic and aesthetic. The kind of empirical approach stresses the european bias of the tools dramaturgical, which are useless to comprehend a decolonial piece of work.
