La teatralidad en los espacios expandidos: emocionalidad y sensibilidad del “quehacer teatral” en una mirada interdisciplinar desde la pandemia

Abstract

This Project, which began as a personal concern about the creative practices of Theatre during the lockdowns of the pandemic, expands, stretches and contracts around the events, experiences and testimonies of other Theatre agents who, like me, experienced the need to create, learn and live Theatre in these times when digitality gave us permission to be together, to gradually return to the theatres, to continue making theatre. Here I approach some thinkers of the performing arts that allow me to question the classic concepts of Theatre and review these experiences during the pandemic to understand if what we were doing was Theatre or not, if by connecting by creating and agreeing on theatricality we were expanding the academic concepts of practices or it was just a fleeting moment. I review this collective journey that included many human emotions and that rethought the way of doing Theater, I review the changes that this brought and what remained as well as what only appeared for a moment through people from the Theater who through talks shared their experiences and feelings and thanks to what I lived with the companies and collectives with whom I worked during the pandemic as a professional of the plastic and visual arts in art direction, set design, characterization, props and lighting design for Theater. The Theater is trans and interdisciplinary, it goes to other areas of knowledge and knowledge to materialize its scenes, this became more evident during the pandemic, since we found ourselves with learning challenges to be able to put the Theater to inhabit virtuality and digitality in a way that, although forced, was daily in those days. From this review today I know that resources such as live broadcasts, video casting, trailers of works for marketing, virtual meetings and Theater records are here to stay. We have changed as people, we have changed as professionals, our tasks and our practices have changed, but this is the essential dynamic of human beings and their cultures.
