Abstract

Last decade of 20th century and the beginning of 21th, due to some congresses and academic researches, it has started to value the presence of Classic myths in Latin American theater. This has made possible the rescue and analysis of an important and growing corpus of works that continuously updates with new productions and approaches. A valuable research’s subject in this regard has been to systematize all founded repertoire from multiple methods and theories. Some of the most wellknown studies –such as Costa Palamides’ and Elina Miranda’s– are valuable contributions to this intention. The present research, which is inserted in this framework, aspires to update and renovate current Caribbean corpus, as well as to reveal new tendencies, by considering previous studies and tracking new dramatic productions. It’s specially focused on works of the Hispanic Antilles, in relation with the productions of other Caribbean areas.
