Summary: | This article shows the creation process of three young Colombian playwrights and directors by looking at their recent plays and examining the relationships between bodies and spaces. These spaces – whether as limiting or asphyxiating as a house in a working-class neighborhood in Cali, where Ana María Gómez Valencia’s Pájaros Maleducados takes place; untamed, as in Javier Gámez’s Corazón de Piedra, which takes place in the violent rural Colombia of recent times; or the huge distances traveled by migrants in Hotspot, created by Javier Gutiérrez with his company Delohumano and the artists of the spanish group Projecte Vaca – are the starting point, and the central theme, of these texts.
