ESCOTO, Daniel. Gurrola + 60s en pop: An Itinerary at the Fonoteca Nacional. Interpret. Rev. herméneut [online]. 2024, vol.9, n.2, pp.121-150.  Epub Oct 23, 2024. ISSN 2448-864X.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.irh.2024.2/010s2701wo577.

This article, the outcome of a research at the Fonoteca Nacional (National Audio Archive), proposes an approach to audio recordings as a way of interpreting several stagings by the Mexican director and interdisciplinary artist Juan José Gurrola (1935-2007), to address how he appropriated different pop elements during his early career (late fifties, and all of the sixties). Thus, the intention is to enable a more complex understanding on the Gurrola-pop relationship, with a specific approach from sound documents. The main artistic experiences mentioned are the theater stagings of The Skin of Our Teeth, by Thorton Wilder; The Bald Singer, by Eugène Ionesco, and Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma’s Hung You in the Closet and I’m Feelin’ So Sad! by Arthur Kopit. The musical show 2+8 en pop; the occurrences Tonadas, and the Dynamic Museum of June ’67; and the film Tajimara, cowritten by Gurrola and Juan García Ponce.

Keywords : theater; Juan José Gurrola; pop; sixties; Fonoteca Nacional.
