Abstract

This article investigates from a feminist perspective the process of the deconstruction of archetypal representations of women in Interior F (2002) by Mariana Silva Yrigoyen. The play establishes a hypertextual dialogue with classical mythology, through the figures of Cassandra and Electra, as well as with Federico García Lorca’s Yerma (1991). Interior F not only denounces the social constructs that oppress female characters during Peru’s internal armed conflict, but also seeks to reconstruct a new social and cultural model of women by empowering its protagonists and attributing to them qualities traditionally associated with men.
