La máquina de escribir como objeto mágico en "El amor de las luciérnagas" de Alejandro Ricaño

In this article El amor de las luciérnagas (2012) by playwright Alejandro Ricaño will be analyzed, specifically, how an old typewriter, forgotten in a Norwegian city, manages to create, based on what is written in it, a double of the main character, Maria. The writing and the construction of drama on the stage are world creation processes; in theater, words set signs (objects and actions) in the drama space for the reader/spectator to watch and accept its appearance even if they are not physically there, like in this case, the double. Therefore, in this play, an everyday item like the magic typewriter, would be a metaphor of the creation of possibilities within literature and theater by establishing credible and magical events.
