Abstract
This work aims to continue the study of the character in contemporary Colombian theater, using historical aesthetics as the main axis of analysis to elucidate how an element, institutionalized as a correlate of individuals in Western society, has been transformed in parallel with the evolving idea of the subject in each era. To this end, I have coined the concept of the "dissolution of the character," a metaphor for the loss of characteristics experienced by the character in current dramatic writings. We begin with a critical analysis of the most relevant theorists who have studied the concept of the character, in order to establish a conceptual framework. This confirms an increasingly pronounced trend to eliminate the character as a significant function, where the dissolution of the character is the phenomenon corresponding to contemporary theater. Subsequently, I propose an innovative methodology by outlining the historical-social context through specialized criticism. One of the most productive sources for examining the work of critics is anthologies. Therefore, the interest in the historical context will focus on the introductory texts of the three most important anthologies produced in the country. Finally, there is a detailed study of two Colombian plays: Corruptour: ¡País de mierda! Caso Jaime Garzón by Verónica Ochoa and Otra de leche, by Carlos Enrique Lozano. These dramaturgies illustrate the transmutation of the character into an agent of discourse whose purpose completely diverges from the functions previously assigned to it, leading to a constant rejection of the representation of the subject or individual as a well-defined entity. Consequently, artists have opted for new ways of addressing the human condition, sometimes from a place of scarcity, and at other times from an excess of literary and scenic resources.
