Abstract (in Czech)

Příspěvěk se zabývá vztahem mezi divadelním a historickým diskursem v Mexicku, mezi divadlem (či obecně literaturou) a oficiální verzí historických událostí, jejímž původcem je vládnoucí strana.

Abstract (in English)

This paper deals with the treatment of the history in Krisis (1996) by Sabina Berman and Perder la cabeza by Jaime Chabaud (1995), having both plays intertextual references in the North American TV series Los Intocables broadcasted in Mexico from 1959 till 1963. As has been mentioned by Hayden White (2003), there is no absolute true, and therefore the historical discourse is questionable. In this sense, both authors point out the existence of two histories, the official one, created by those who have a political power about its production, and her other, hidden, face. The black humor of Berman and the grotesqueness of Chabaud are the manners of showing that other face of the history and also their own present time, manipulated by the PRI (Partido Revolucionario Institucional), the political party which was in power without interruption from the ending of the Mexican Revolution up to the end of the last century.
