This prologue proposes to frame the essays that conform to the present publication from three thematic axes: contemporary classic play interpretation, analysis of different aspects of staging, and the present Latin American theatrical panorama. The prologue goes through the main concepts that are developed in each article from the different perspective from analyses raised by the authors. The essays, each from their  respective points of view, reflect how classicism imbricates and empowers the contemporary theatrical universe, thus creating new approaches, staging and theoretical setups.
