El ciclo musical candelario. Aportación del Teatro La Candelaria a un esbozo de teatro musical colombiano, original y crítico

Abstract

Traveling through the scene for the last 36 years, specifically through the theater movement inscribed in what was called new Colombian theater, from the role of creation, training and theoretical production, represents an experience of personal meaning. The vicissitudes of violent reality, political complexity and the sociocultural context of a country impact, perhaps like no other, an art like theater whose substantial material is life. The repercussions of an artistic movement such as the one that arose around La Casa de la Cultura, with its subsequent conversion into the La Candelaria Theater, and from which a vigorous plastic, poetic, literary, musical and theatrical artistic movement emerges, can be located in the set of theatrical creations that make up the opus candelario. Deeply embedded in the particular conditions of a country besieged by permanent political violence, supported by an eternally corrupt ruling class, foolishly isolated from global changes and radicalized in the maintenance of its privileges and perks; This imperishable opus will inform more discerning generations of what political art represents, as well as original and of high aesthetic quality.
