Abstract
No daré hijos, daré versos, by Marianella Morena, debuted in October 2014 in Montevideo during the centennial year of Delmira Agustini’s death at the hands of her ex-husband Enrique Job Reyes. It was also performed in Spain in 2016. Over Agustini’s dead body, Morena and her acting group, La Morena, develop multiple strands of meaning in differing temporalities and frameworks of power as they demonstrate an engagement with affective currents and attitudes toward both views of the body and memory through performance, space, and trauma. In the play, they create theatrical and poetic space to explore and move beyond binaries to conclude modernization’s project of sexual revolution and to finish the story of the New Woman–at least as it pertains to Uruguay’s “New Woman” as characterized by Agustini and her poetry.
