Resumen de Pink Glitter: Activist theatre against violence
Debra Castillo, Ana Florencia López Ulloa
This article tracks the two-year process of developing the Spanish-language play, Diamantina rosa: se vale bailar, and its English-language counterpart, Pink Glitter, under the travel and performance restrictions imposed by COVID. While waiting for live theatre to start up again, the creators of the play began rethinking how to do theatre in the contemporary environment. This study documents the play's development in several very different formats: the eventual scrapping of the original idea of producing a Spanish monologue/DJ set in favor of a more richly evolved in-person Spanish-language live performance with multiple actors; the very different scripts and formats for the two online English-language variations of the play; and the English-language live performance.
