HERNAN SOSA, Carlos. A review of the leader for two voices: Notes on rewriting and intertextuality in the theater of David Peña and David Viñas. Latinoamérica [online]. 2012, n.54, pp.249-267. ISSN 2448-6914.

This work analyzes two theater works about an episode of Argentine history: the military rise of 1828 where the caudillo Manuel Dorrego was shot. Both texts, Dorrego by David Peña (1909) and Dorrego by David Viñas (1974), have intertextual bonds by means of which they have reviewed some decisive subjects for the Argentine political culture -caudillismo, populism, participation of the army in the policy- On the other hand, when reinterpreting each piece in its context, there have been recovered veiled references to the contemporary reality which the texts questioned, indirectly appealing to a historical re-reading.
