Towards the end of the 1970s, Latin America was affected by the neoliberal system, the economic crisis, the displacement of populations, the exploitation of soils, military dictatorships and armed groups, which generated chaos at worrying levels. Social movements, at that time, made visible the social gaps and demanded transformation in relation to the quality of life, human rights and the institutionalization of bodies that represent them. It is in this chaotic context, together with the surrealist movements, where theater in Latin America would be influenced and restructured on an ethical and poetic level. Those in charge of the theatrical artistic work modified the hierarchy, the dramaturgy and the aesthetics mobilized by the sense of commitment to their region. The awareness that the image of the other different from them provided them with a sense of ethical responsibility, from which they will modify their representation and performance of Latin American theater. On the other hand, we can speak of a political Latin American Theater because it aims to transform, denounce and protest on stage. This article aims to demonstrate that the ethical responsibility of the actor shapes the performance of Latin American theater. This is due to the fact that it becomes a tool of provocation, denunciation and protest that operates on stage through the visibility of the context of social inequality and oppression of the late 1970s.
