GIDI, Claudia. Testosterona by Sabina Berman: setback and continuity of romantic comedy. Connotas. Rev. crit. teór. lit. [online]. 2020, n.21, pp.59-84.  Epub 15-Feb-2021. ISSN 2448-6019.  https://doi.org/10.36798/critlit.vi21.349.

In this article I deal with one of Sabina Berman’s most recent and successful plays: Testosterone. In it, the author focuses her gaze on the conflicting power relations between men and women, appealing to romantic comedy; a dramatic and cinematographic genre that usually deals, from a humorous perspective, with love relationships and confrontation between the sexes. I consider that it is important to analyze how Berman takes advantage of many of the artistic characteristics of this genre to turn them around and highlight the social mechanisms that overwhelm women; thus, upsetting a whole horizon of expectations.

Palabras llave : romantic comedy; Mexican theater; gender relations; Sabina Berman.
