description The thirtieth anniversary of Malvinas (Falklands) War in 2012 became a trace of the past, recovered by a young generation of playwrights. According to Rosana Guber, that war has worked as a metaphor of the nation, but this paper argues that Campo minado (Minefield) by Lola Arias subverts that metaphor. The play was premiered in Brighton, England, on May 2016 and six months later in Buenos Aires. It is based on veterans’ testimonies who actually take part in the show (three Argentineans, two English, one Gurkha) and by these means the play achieves to decenter the notion of national community. The article discusses how Minefield narrates the war without epic tones and explores the question of national sovereignty, but without silencing its effects on the bodies at war. Finally, the paper suggests that Arias’ play creates a plurinational and multilingual space from where new images and new memories of Malvinas emerge. These images and memories are permeated with the common experience of the enemies at that time, but also with the conflict and dissent between them.
