For this we will stop in the dialogues and in the relationship and disputes that are established between the characters of Prospero, Calibán and Sycorax, and how from those characters (Caliban and Sycorax) can be established figures that project a critic to the "colonial matrix of power" (Quijano, Mignolo). We present a rereading of Une tempête fifty years after its premiere and in relation to a stage that some authors like Bruno Latour (2017), define as “the era of the Anthropocene". We propose, then, to analyze as a starting point the relationship between Caliban and Sycorax as a figure and alternative to the colonial power exercised by Prospero, which translates into civilizational narratives or "narratives of development" (Svampa, Antonelli, 2009), which seeks to exercise power over subaltern subjects and dispose of "Nature" for exploitation. Nos proponemos analizar la obra de teatro del escritor antillano Aimé Césaire Una tempestad: Adaptación de La tempestad de Shakespeare para un teatro negro, teniendo en cuenta lecturas de pensadores críticos al colonialismo y de autores que reflexionan en torno a la etapa actual de depredación de la “Naturaleza” (noción heredada de la modernidad que será problematizada a lo largo del trabajo [Latour, 2017]). Para ello nos detendremos en los diálogos y en la relación y disputas que, en la obra, se establecen entre los personajes de Próspero, Calibán y Sycorax, y cómo a partir de dichos personajes (Calibán y Sycorax) se pueden establecer figuras que proyecten una crítica o contranarrativa a la matriz “civilizatoria” que representa el personaje de Próspero y que concibe a la “Naturaleza” como objeto a disposición del hombre para ser explotado. Presentamos así una relectura de Una tempestad a cincuenta años de su estreno y en relación con una etapa que algunos autores como Bruno Latour (2017) o Dipesh Chakrabarty (2009), definen como “la era del Antropoceno”. Proponemos, entonces, analizar como punto de partida la relación entre Calibán y Sycorax como figura y alternativa al poder colonial ejercido por Próspero, el cual se traduce en narrativas civilizatorias o “narrativas del desarrollo” (Svampa, Antonelli, 2009), que buscan ejercer poder sobre sujetos subalternos y disponer de la “Naturaleza” para su explotación.
