"El Clóset de Babatov". Una autoficción teatral

Abstract

This document explores theatrical autofiction through the intersection of my personal experiences and my artistic development as an actor, using the play “El Clóset de Babatov” as a central axis to attempt to answer the question: How can part of a personal experience be integrated into a theatrical play? Inspired by theories such as those of Augusto Boal on the "Theater of the Oppressed" and the healing function of theater, this work provides evidence of the transformation of memories into scenic material. The project is organized into two chapters: “Planning and Creation,” which structure the staging process. These chapters document the interpretation and construction of the monologue through a weekly journal that records each stage of the creative process. This analysis highlights the role of theater as a space for catharsis, where the past comes to life and is shared with the audience in a visceral way.
