Instalación teatral y duelo: “Luz, una activación de la memoria emotiva en el espectador”

Abstract

This creative process is based on research where practice and theory are crossed. It is linked to the courses: Laboratorio I, II and II, at the bachelor of Performing Arts at Universidad de Cuenca.This process was based on how to recreate, recompose and reconstruct images of the mourning? What remains in our bodies, in our memory after someone’s death? Using the theatrical installation as a matrix containing a compilation of memories and objects linked to them, a series of experiences that allude to mourning are fictionalized. In the piece that derives from the process, metaphors were generated of how we make memory in a fragmentary way through objects, sounds, shadows, bodies that contain memory and cause its recomposition.
