This works examines how the dramaturgical creative act varies according to the reality of the artist in exile, whether at home or abroad, in the context of Argentina's last dictatorship (1976-1983). Our corpus examines three playwrights in exile at the time in Spain (Bortnik, Gambaro and Raznovich) and the works of two artists who considered the topic of exile while remaining in Argentina (Gris de ausencia by Cossa and Lejana tierra prometida by Halac). In turn, this allows us to consider an ontological perspective of theatre and uphold the vitality of contact between Argentina, Spain and Italy during this time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Exile and insile are at the core of the analysis of the dramatic works of Griselda Gambaro, Aída Bortnik and Diana Raznovich in this essay. The career of these three playwrights, the only three participants of Teatro Abierto 1981, was disturbed by the National Reorganization Process (1976 - 1983), the dictatorship by the president de facto Jorge Rafael Videla. The time of the exile -- and insile for some of them -, enables the understanding of the thematic and formal evolution in their works, as well as the study of the complicated political and social circumstances surrounding Argentinian theater in the second half of the 20th century.
