Entre la estética, la ética y la nada. En busca de lo real como material artístico. Sobre "Play, juegos entretenidos o ponga aquí el nombre que le parezca más divertido: ___________". (drama, postdrama, performance, ideología y violencia, desde Lehmann hasta Žižek).

Abstract

Violence is a difficult topic for an artistic creation (especially nowadays), Not only because who makes an appreciation of the artistic piece that talks about that topic, usually asphyxiate in a review, the aesthetic materials by the extra— aesthetic ones (with ethics, politics, cultural studies, and so on); But because the topic resist to any theoretical framework, what destroy our limits and presuppositions about it. Here is where the concept of the real by Jaques Lacan appears, and symptom as definition itself: Violence resist to be symbolized, to be domesticated, it's just because violence is a real. So, how can we evaluate, create and watch those pieces that talk about that topic, (this and others) that have those (the real) characteristics? We will take “Play, juegos entretenidos o ponga aquí el nombre que le parezca más divertido: ______”, because the Play dared to talk about the monster (violence). Is after describing, analyzing and interpreting, we will find the ways to making, thinking and watching, through the structures, mechanics and dynamics (purely aesthetics but with a point about the extra—aesthetics) new powered perspectives for the performing arts. Using this aggressive real (the violence) brought through the post dramatic aesthetics; we will find the potencias creativas (Chevallier, 2011) on it, in this work and in other real materialized.
