    El cuerpo como archivo: La memoria y el cuerpo
    (Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Artes, 2026-02-10) Espejo Gutama, Katherine Cristina; San Martín Arévalo, Diego Paúl
    In this thesis titled The Body as Archive: Memory and Body, the aim is to analyze and systematize how the concept of body archive by Bonfim is used to store and express the collective memory of abuse victims. The study examines theatrical techniques that enable the actor's body to become a vehicle for denunciation and testimony, facilitating a profound and meaningful representation of these experiences. The play Documento (San Martín, 2019) stands as an act of denunciation against the inhumane crimes committed by former priest César Cordero Moscoso against children who were part of his educational institutions. Through a dramaturgy that engages with the concept of body archive, the play articulates the perspective of the victims, constructing a scenic poetics that draws from their testimonies and the actor's body as a vessel of memory. This symbiosis between the physical and the verbal not only allows for multiple interpretations but also invites an intimate and moving reflection. Thus, the stage becomes a territory of resistance, where denunciation and collective memory intertwine, giving voice and presence to those who were silenced. The objective of this thesis is to analyze the tools, procedures, and strategies employed in the creation of the theatrical work Documento. The research focuses on breaking down the techniques and methodological processes applied in the conception and development of the artistic project, aiming to provide a deep understanding and critical reflection on the theatrical practice.
