Résumé anglais This article proposes an analysis of the piece Adiós Ayacucho, both the Júlio Ortega novel itself and its theatrical adaptation by Yuyachkani Group (dramaturgy and direction by Miguel Rubio), studied from the point of view of the representation of violence and death. The guiding principle is that such representation in Adiós Ayacucho relates to the history of subjugation and conquest of the Inca people by the Spaniards. The protagonist, Alfonso Cánepa, a peasant killed during Peru's civil war (1980-2000) who makes his way from Ayacucho to Lima to recover his bones, can thus be related to the Inkarri myth, to death, to dismemberment and to the promise of reconstitution of the last Inca's body. In the play, when the narrative becomes a performance, Yuyachkani goes further in representing the embodiment of a subject without a body—a dead man—a significant absence in the context of the civil war. When retrieving this story of conquest and this Peruvian collective memory, Adiós Ayacucho opens possibilities of resistance through corporeality and recognition of one's own heterogeneity.
