Abstract

The dialogue between two or more characters is generally considered the usual mode of enunciation of drama. From this perspective monologues and asides represent anomalies because of the direct contact created between the audience and the actors. Theorist Hans-Thies Lehmann considers narration and monologue two characteristics of the “postdramatic theatre.” According to Lehmann, narration privileges presence rather than representation. This presence also emphasizes the communication with the public and the transmission of personal experience. On the other hand, the monologue has implications on the intra- and the extra-stage communication. In this article we explore how in the play Antigone (2000) by the poet José Watanabe and the Cultural Group Yuyachkani the replacement of the dialogue by a narrative monologue results in the predominance of the êthos, and how this form of narrative structure gives a new meaning to the ancient tragedy.
