Dramaturgia posbarbiana y caníbal en el teatro cuencano con especial énfasis en el grupo de teatro del Quinto Río

Abstract

The present thesis analyzes the position of the contemporary scenic artist, through the principles of the functioning of “Esthetic abstract machines” main parts of “Canibal theater” and the theory on the "Form", developed by Carlos Rojas, as a reference of the proposal of an artistic production. The present work focuses on the study of the ways of production of the theater group called "Quinto Río" of Cuenca city, with long experience in theater production. However, this is not a historical study, but a critical reflection on its stage production, as a paradigm that renews the theatrical languages of the time. In addition the thesis develops a creative process which joins these elements with the concept of "heterotopic places", formulated by Michelle Foucault, who is incarnated in the play of theater of Isidro Luna called "Elizabeth o la esclavitud". In this way, it is intended to raise a new horizon well sustained to open paths of possible postbarbian – postdramatic dramaturgy.
