Isidro Luna, teatro caníbal y dramaturgia hacker

Abstract

This work analyzes some of the most important concepts of dramaturgy developed by Isidro Luna, who has dedicated more than twenty years to theater production and has theoretically reflected on his own work and the reality of theater in this late period. Luna's aesthetic concepts analyzed here configure a hacker dramaturgy that sets out to overcome the paradigm of traditional, conventional and commercial theater, provoking the emergence of another dramaturgy that even aspires to surpass itself. Isidro Luna (1950) works from Ecuador. His theatrical production has been staged hundreds of times by local and national groups. The central concepts of his dramaturgy are: automatism and technical work; collective unconscious and aesthetic unconscious; the crowd, main character; theater and reality; presentation and representation, beyond modernity and postmodernity
