Summary: | In the year 2003 the playwright and director Rafael Spregelburd stages Bizarra, a comedy about the
Argentine crisis of 2001. This is the first theater-novel in history, that is to say, a play consisting of 10
chapters; in order to watch it complete, it is necessary to go ten times to the theater. For years, Spre -
gelburd has been considered a postmodern author by several academic literary critics as well as by the
dramaturgs of the 1960s generation. This article aims at questioning this classification based on the fact
that the author has different points of view and practices in common with political theater.
