    • Abstract:
      Los patriotas de Lima en la noche feliz, a stage play that is part of the performative program of the declaration of the independence of Peru in 1821, has been mostly studied based on its content and style. This article reviews the way this play has been approached from different disciplines and proposes a study from the aesthetics of the performative. From an analysis of the performative components, both mimetic and ritual, it is suggested to pay attention to the exclusions, the symbolic and fictional spaces, and the character hierarchy that the play proposes. In this way, this study reveals the play's contradictions and limitations when it comes to representing the emerging Peruvian republic: the inaugural work of republican theater envisions a rational, "civic" and white/creole Peru that excludes the possibility of a heterogeneous nation.

    • Abstract:
      Los patriotas de Lima en la noche feliz, obra que forma parte del programa performativo de la declaración de la independencia del Perú en 1821, ha sido mayormente estudiada a partir de su contenido y su estilo. En este artículo se hace un recuento de los abordajes que se han hecho de la obra desde diferentes disciplinas y se propone un estudio desde la estética de lo performativo. A partir de un análisis de los componentes performativos tanto miméticos como rituales, se propone prestar atención a las exclusiones, los espacios simbólicos y ficcionales, y la jerarquización de los personajes que la obra plantea. De esta forma, se revelan sus contradicciones y limitaciones para representar a la naciente república peruana: la que es considerada como obra inaugural del teatro republicano imagina un Perú racional, "cívico" y criollo que excluye la posibilidad de una nación heterogénea.
