The plays Proyecto Piloto by Enrique Buenaventura and Proyecto P by Enrique Lozano propose a fiction in which the citizens of a society infected by the rabies virus mutate to become hateful rats, a metaphorical image that reflects the dehumanization of Colombian society and the current policies on life. This article analyzes the animal metaphor to arrive at an interpretation of the viral fiction based on the immunization approaches of Roberto Esposito, which leads to reveal the existence of an immune thought in Colombian society that carries a policy of death.
