description The article advocates for a history of the theatre in Colombia, one that refrains from partisan tendencies and ideological complicity. Starting from a bibliographical revision of literature on Colombian theatre between the late 1950s and the present, the article criticizes the emphasis on aspects that ignore fundamental elements of the activities of Colombian theatrical modernity, TEC and La Candelaria. As opposed to most of the theoreticians and critics, who locate modernization in the 1970s and ascribe it to the rise of what is known as Nuevo Teatro (New Theatre), the author suggests that the true modernization of Colombian theatre begins with the generation of La Violencia, around the 1950s.
