Abstract
Migdalia Cruz’s work stands out for its aesthetics, and because of the themes and characters that she so carefully develops through a focus on the scatological elements that compose the body as a form of grotesque beauty. This essay studies two particular plays, Miriam’s Flowers (1992) and Fur (2000), focusing on the aesthetics that compose her works in relation to two specific dominant issues: love and sexuality. It is through these themes that her characters develop a sense of agency and it is possible to identify a concern towards identity construction that forms part of Migdalia Cruz’s theatrical corpus.
