Abstract

 Within López Mozo’s constant will to renovate the overused conventions of the theatrical canon, we have to highlight his use of intertextuality and intratextuality: popular techniques nowadays among the playwright of postmodernism. Combate de ciegos builds its narrative structure over a frame of interconnection, creating an aesthetic and intellectual exercise in which readers and spectators have to decipher and connect the elements which shape it. Through the use of a system of references, López Mozo fuses time and space, creating an effect of mise-en-abyme in which three realties overlap simultaneously.

Key words: Combate de ciegos, drama, Lopez Mozo, postmodernism, intertextuality, intratextuality.
