Abstract

Mutilated and dead bodies have been seen more frequently in contemporary theater scenes, which leads to question the pertinence of confronting the audience with these horror images. Based on Didi-Huberman’s and Susan Sontag’s theories, this article proposes a discussion of the association of image production with imaginary production. Two plays presented in Paris shortly after the November 2015 attacks are analyzed, observing documentary and biographical aspects that place such experiences between the real and the performative.
