De la calle a las tablas. Dramaturgia sobre la prostitución masculina en Bogotá

Abstract

This project arises from the premise that two different disciplines can be twinned: journalism and theatre. For this purpose, a dramaturgy was carried out in which he realizes the findings of a journalistic investigation into male prostitution in Bogotá. A subject that demanded to be addressed in a different way, given the systematic discrimination of society and the institutionality suffered by these subjects, who need to raise their own voice and tell their experiences. The data collected on the spaces where the prostitutes interact, the practices they have, and the problems that afflict them, are accompanied by a file analysis on the phenomena surrounding this trade (sexual practices, homosexuality, drug addiction, among others), allowing to establish a panorama on this phenomenon in the capital. The dramaturgy resulting from this research is framed in the documentary theatre, in which the archives and the voices rescued first hand become the raw material for the construction of a scenic product that is erected taking into account the reverberations of the reality he wants to represent.
