The objective of this analysis is to observe the textual and performative practice of theater as a space for creation, negotiation, and encounter to display the effects of systematized violence against social and marginalized sectors of political opposition, taking into account a neoliberal culture, as well as necropolitical and religious models. Although it has been almost forty years since the return of democracy in Argentina, the social trauma, beyond being identified by the event that caused it, persists in the structure of its experience, reception, consumption, and progressive repetition in the present. In the last decade, Torres Molina has reconstructed and redefined the Argentine dictatorial past through her theater, which invites us to reflect on the relevance of the painful but necessary retroactive looks and their effects in the XXI century. Teniendo en cuenta el carácter político en el teatro y la función performática en el espacio teatral, este ensayo analiza la trilogía de la dramaturga argentina Susana Torres Molina Esa extraña forma de pasión (2013), La fundación (2019) y Un domingo en familia. El objetivo de este análisis consiste en observar la práctica textual y escénica del teatro como un espacio de creación, negociación y encuentro para mostrar los efectos de la violencia sistematizada en contra de sectores políticos de oposición, así como de grupos sociales marginalizados, a partir de una mirada a la cultura neoliberal, modelos necropolíticos y religiosos. Si bien han pasado casi cuarenta años desde el regreso de la democracia en Argentina, el trauma social, más allá de identificarse por el evento que lo causó, persiste en la estructura de su experiencia, recepción, consumo y progresiva repetición en el presente. En la última década, Torres Molina se ha encargado de reconstruir y redefinir el pasado dictatorial argentino por medio de su teatro, lo cual nos invita a reflexionar sobre la pertinencia de las dolorosas pero necesarias miradas retroactivas y sus efectos en pleno siglo XXI.
