| Sumario: | [EN] Raúl Damonte Botana known artistically as Copi was an Argentinian author, playwright and cartoonist (1939-1987) who set up his permanent home in Paris in 1962 where previously with his exiled family he had lived as a child. He wrote and published his works there mainly in French until his death. His artistic production was varied, and amongst the plays, novels and comics two theatre productions stand out where water plays a recurring theme that affects both the intrigue and the spaces in which the characters develop. In L’Ombre de Venceslao (written in 1977 and performed in La Rochelle Festival in 1978) water appears in wide open spaces and the characters are permanently in contact with it. Water is seen as a boundless element which although generates life can also play a destructive part that leads to death. In La Tour de la Défense (published in 1974 and represented in the Théâtre Fontaine in Paris in 1981), we find ourselves in an enclosed and intimate space where water is an ambiguous element firing up passion and fear, on the one hand it awakens the most uncontrollable sexual desires and on the other it gives rise to the appearance of bloodcurdling beasts destined to be devoured. |
