Sistematización de un ejercicio compositivo intertextual desde el planteamiento de Ernesto Ortiz con los materiales del Juego del Gato y el Ratón y la problemática de la violencia y rechazo a las infancias trans para la construcción de una escena de la obra “Rata por Naturaleza”

Abstract

In this research, I explore intertextuality through the ideas of Ernesto Ortiz, using it as a creative tool to develop the dramaturgical hypertexts that shape the play Rata por naturaleza.

In the first chapter, I analyze the concept of intertextuality, starting from Ortiz’s approach in his book La creación en danza: Un acercamiento desde la intertextualidad y la composición en tiempo real, where he describes it as a mainly physical experience. I also include contributions from other authors, such as Genette, to give a more literary perspective. In the second chapter, I examine intertextuality as a method for creating scenic composition, following Ortiz’s methodology to identify, analyze, and work with the central hypotexts of the research. In this case, the hypotexts are the children’s game “Cat and Mouse” and the autofictional issues related to the reality of trans women in Ecuador.

Finally, the third chapter presents the practical application of intertextuality in a body- creation laboratory, showing the results in the form of hypertexts such as the body, costumes, objects, and scenography.
