Colombian theatre-makers have been searching for aesthetic languages to speak about the national conflict for decades. By analysing two of the most prominent theatrical productions from the 2010s, I explore the mechanisms they employ for the inscription of testimonies on audiences. I argue that the use of ghosts onstage to make the disappeared present transforms these plays into both ritual spaces and testimonial encounters at the same time. I do this by engaging with Derrida's works on spectres, along with the work of Latin American scholars who have explored the ethical and aesthetic challenges of making art in times of war.

鬼问：舞台上的见证铭文

几十年来，哥伦比亚戏剧制作者一直在寻找美学语言来讲述民族冲突。通过分析 2010 年代两部最著名的戏剧作品，我探索了它们为观众铭刻证言所采用的机制。我认为，在舞台上使用鬼魂来制造消失的当下，将这些戏剧同时转变为仪式空间和见证遭遇。为此，我研究了德里达关于幽灵的作品，以及探索战争时期艺术创作的伦理和美学挑战的拉丁美洲学者的作品。
