Masculinidad y drama: Cock

Abstract

The present investigation project proposes to explore an analysis of the information surrounding the models of hegemonic masculinity and new masculinities; with an analytic perspective on their identities, stereotypes, prospects and discourses, as well as the presentation of these types of masculinity archetypes in a stage performance centered in the Guayaquil theater. The study focused on the qualitative diagnosis of the play Cock by Mike Bartlett, adapted by Director Henry Silva on the Guayaquil stage in 2018. The same by which was analyzed based on a semi-structured interview, its production of language, visual and performance discourses. From the results; the study concludes that the city hosts a theatrical representation that shows the diversity that exists within the spectrum of masculinity and the discourse of disagreement between the representations of male characters that can deconstruct the dominant notions about hegemonic or traditional masculinity.
