El oso como alegoría de lo ausente

Abstract

An underwater eye has gone down the drain, the owner, a bear-shaped ball of fur, anxiously searches for it by furrowing the pipes, stealing every day a little piece of sea, hoping to find his sad eye. What seems to be a children's story inspired by Jorge Díaz, turns its light tinge to gray and dark, when the author finds in Manolito (the teddy bear that is one of the protagonists of the play "Valparaíso" directed by Teatro de Juguete in 2022), a simile, an analogy, a couple of metaphors and a whole allegory about absence. The haughty bear detaches himself from the play to demand a place of enunciation in an attempt to Zurcirse himself, emerging an "Autopoiesis", surfing the seas of his memories. The absence of Manolito's eye allows the author to collect herself in an absence of her own and develop a multiplicity of languages, which delve between dramaturgy, poetry, plastic arts and concepts that become necessary to come to life in the course of the story.
