Sumario:The essay reflects on the political possibilities of the "artivism" of the group called Fuerza Artística de Choque Comunicativo (Artistic Force of Communicative Shock). In order to achieve this, it analyzes the notions of "abstract space" (H.Lefevbre), of "current time" (Ricoeur) and "dense time" (Benjamin) and proposes the emergence of a present memory that would bring together, thanks to the theatrical action, the recent past and the present to get an alternative perspective of the current times. This essay examines three actions of the group: "Esto no es independencia", "Acción Puente", "Promotoras" and "Genocida suelto". From this analysis, it will be concluded that the actions of the group have their own political potential that is not comparable with other artivist actions because of its strenght that comes from its organizational and theatrical characteristics.
