| Sumario: | On the basis of the Myth of Thyestes and the Senecan tragedy, Garcia Wehbi’s play Tiestes y Atreo staged at the Cervantes National Theatre deconstructs a number of key elements of Western-Christian history, such as patriarchy. This article undertakes a semiologic analysis of the various cultural referents (artistic, religious) inserted into the script in order to show how the concept of “inter-textual collage” underpins the poetry of the play, while it constitutes Garcia Wehbi’s main tool to destabilise the dominant symbolic order. |
