Abstract

The current article aims to analyze Abel, a dramatic text written by Alexis Moreno, and fi rst presented on stage in October 2007. Our view is based on two concepts: the Marxian «symptom», generated from Lacanian assertions, and completed by Slavoj Zizek, which is only developed in the dialogic framework of a society; the second concept, which is a consequence of the previous one, is
the «dialogism» we fi nd in Bajtin. The analysis investigates the political and social dimension of the play, trying to decipher the ideological, textual and semiotic assumptions that Moreno develops in order to build his own aesthetical and dramatic proposal.
