Descripción
Sumario:Coragyps Sapiens is the name of Felipe Vergara’s dramatic play written in 2013. In this work the author represents not only the violence triggered over the victim’s body during the Armed Conflict in Colombia, but also puts forward, as a metaphor, a proposal for the social reconstruction in the country. This article discusses the above-mentioned proposal through the analysis of the images inside the text and studies the metaphorical language to understand its possible implications. Hereby the article tries to emphasize the role of the dramatic art as a creator of actions that make viable the symbolic reconstruction of the social fabric in a country fractured by violence, and, nevertheless, committed to establish a lasting peace.
