Abstract
This article analyses Vacío, an unusual play that Mexican dramatist Carmen Boullosa created in collaboration with Julio Castillo and Jesusa Rodríguez while rehearsals of “Three Women,” a dramatic poem by Sylvia Plath, were taking place on the stage. The play is studied within the context of such binaries as authorship versus adaptation, performance versus textuality, and repertory versus archive. The author also focuses on the dark and emotional content of this collaborative play, particularly the feelings of an extremely tormented maternal desire experimented by Plath at the time of her suicide.All items © The Center of Latin American Studies and Caribbean Studies, The University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas 66045, U.S.A.
