Un análisis de la actuación en dos obras intermediales de teatro documental biodramático

Hacia el concepto de actuación flotante

Abstract

In this work, we will give an account of a particular acting poetics that we find in documentary theater, which we propose to conceptualize under the term "floating acting". This concept accounts for a type of post-dramatic action that seems to resist representation -and mean something concrete- to give rise to the open, to the dizzying experience of the body in its materiality on stage in front of a spectator who lends it his gaze. In this article, we will stop at the acting activity itself and the relationship that is established between this and the different media that the works call for their staging. To work acting in documentary theater, as well as thinking about its particularities in the artistic proposals that use non-professional actors and study its role in the concretization of the intermediate relationships that the works propose, we will analyze the plays Campo minado, by Lola Arias (2016) and Imprenteros, by Lorena Vega (2019).
