Abstract Mar Gómez Glez’s play Cifras (2012) stages the real-life events that transpired in July 2006, when the Spanish fishing boat Francisco y Catalina was forced into a weeklong maritime standstill off the coast of Malta after bringing onboard fifty-one migrants stranded in the Mediterranean Sea. Through this interpretive frame, Gómez Glez’s play both contributes to a thematic trend in the landscape of contemporary Spanish theater that places the dynamics of migration center stage while at the same time presenting a significant departure from such preexisting dramatic production. Subverting audience expectations, the fifty-one migrants are never endowed with physical presence on stage and are instead constructed through an array of linguistic and dramatic techniques. Although, we never see the migrants, Gómez Glez’s use of linguistic references, grammatical indicators, and staging signs nevertheless renders their presence as impossible to ignore. This article advances a reading of Cifras wherein the physical invisibility of the migrant characters is viewed as a conscious ethical technique by the playwright that calls attention to mediatized visual representations and current political discourses on migration. Read in this light, the work becomes poignantly relevant in the recent global context of punitive politics discouraging humanitarian rescues in the Mediterranean, the rise of a social discourse on migrant psychology and social welfare, and the continued environmental impacts generated by global warming.

迁徙与母马灵丹妙药：Mar Gómez Glez 的 Cifras 中的替代分期技术

摘要 Mar Gómez Glez 的戏剧 Cifras (2012) 上演了 2006 年 7 月发生的真实事件，当时西班牙渔船 Francisco y Catalina 在将 51 名滞留在地中海。通过这种诠释框架，戈麦斯·格莱兹 (Gómez Glez) 的戏剧既有助于当代西班牙戏剧景观的主题趋势，又将移民的动态置于舞台中心，同时与这种预先存在的戏剧作品有显着不同。颠覆观众预期的是，五十一位移民从来没有在舞台上被赋予过身临其境的感觉，而是通过一系列语言和戏剧技巧来构建。虽然，我们从未见过移民，Gómez Glez 使用语言参考，然而，语法指示符和舞台标志使它们的存在不可忽视。本文推进了对 Cifras 的阅读，其中移民角色的身体隐形被剧作家视为一种有意识的道德技巧，呼吁人们关注媒介化的视觉表现和当前关于移民的政治话语。从这个角度来看，这项工作在最近的全球背景下变得非常重要：惩罚性政治阻碍了地中海的人道主义救援，关于移民心理和社会福利的社会话语的兴起，以及全球变暖对环境的持续影响。本文推进了对 Cifras 的阅读，其中移民角色的身体隐形被剧作家视为一种有意识的道德技巧，呼吁人们关注媒介化的视觉表现和当前关于移民的政治话语。从这个角度来看，这项工作在最近的全球背景下变得非常重要：惩罚性政治阻碍了地中海的人道主义救援，关于移民心理和社会福利的社会话语的兴起，以及全球变暖对环境的持续影响。本文推进了对 Cifras 的阅读，其中移民角色的身体隐形被剧作家视为一种有意识的道德技巧，呼吁人们关注媒介化的视觉表现和当前关于移民的政治话语。从这个角度来看，这项工作在最近的全球背景下变得非常重要：惩罚性政治阻碍了地中海的人道主义救援，关于移民心理和社会福利的社会话语的兴起，以及全球变暖对环境的持续影响。
