Abstract

The following article comparatively analyzes the theatrical theories of
Erwin Piscator (Das politische Theater, 1968) and César Vallejo (El arte y la revolución, 1973)
and their practical applications. It also attempts to locate César Vallejo’s theater within the
parameters of political theater. Piscator, Vallejo and other authors of revolutionary drama
present an ideological and aesthetic model in which the “new” proletarian aesthetics
overcomes that of the bourgeoisie. This aesthetics lie in the utilization of the cinematograph,
the interpretative techniques of collective characters, and the use of documentation from a
proletariat perspective.
