Abstract
Sergi Belbel’s as yet unpublished play, Mexicatas, premiered in late 2018. In the spring of that year a group of eight Mexican actresses, who now live in Catalonia and are members of the theater group Cor de Maguey, approached Belbel and asked him to write a play about their experiences as Mexican immigrants. My essay examines the collaborative process and the ensuing spectacle. It considers questions of personal and social identity, the attitudes of the Mexican immigrants to the Catalan language and customs, and the humor that derives from these, all within an encompassing framework of in-betweenness and hybridity.
塞尔吉·贝尔贝尔尚未出版的戏剧《墨西哥》于2018年底首演。那一年的春天,一个由八名墨西哥女演员组成的剧团找到贝尔贝尔,请他写一部关于她们作为墨西哥移民经历的剧本。她们现在住在加泰罗尼亚,是戏剧团体Cor de Maguey的成员。我的文章考察了合作过程和随之而来的奇观。它考虑了个人和社会身份的问题,墨西哥移民对加泰罗尼亚语言和习俗的态度,以及由此产生的幽默,所有这些都在一个包容的框架内,中间和混合。
