ARAIZA HERNANDEZ, Elizabeth. La farsa de los pueblos exhibidos: Teatro etnográfico y representación escénica del otro. Revista Col. San Luis [online]. 2013, vol.3, n.5, pp.228-256. ISSN 2007-8846.

The guiding thread of this essay is a question of the validity of the assumption that does not exist and could not exist, something like a theater ethnographic mode, for example, ethnographic film or documentary. In the following pages set out an approach to this problem by high lighting the difficulties of representing the other site. At first relevant case is evoked staging of indigenous self-representation or performed in different stages of the history of Mexico. In a second stage explores some tracks of inquiry: the problem another or the need to justify their existence and implications of this in the stage performance, interaction and mutual influence between different forms of representation (painting, sculpture, film, and photo). To what extent the theater, because of its directness, living flesh is more or less fictional, more or less realistic or naturalistic, than other forms of representation? How far represent indigenous theatrical scene involves in all cases in order to show turning, denigrate their presence or access to a knowledge of what he is and does, how he lives and what he wants? Under what conditions is desirable and achievable ethnographic theater?
