Construcción de la estructura dramática en la obra "Almas allá": el uso de las nociones del teatro del absurdo de Martín Esslin y su aporte en la construcción dramatúrgica

Abstract

The project was born from the framework of the research laboratory process within the performing arts career at the University of Cuenca. Within this extensive process we found one of the central elements of creation: the theater of the absurd. Almas allá embodies this principle by dismantling the linear and coherent plot, presenting instead a succession of seemingly random and illogical situations, incomprehensible to the characters and their lifestyle, thus inviting us to contemplate the absurdity inherent in existence. Through the analysis of this device, this thesis demonstrates how the principles of the theater of the absurd postulated by Esslin materialized in the creative process, resulting in a play that challenges our perception of reality and invites us to explore the depths of the human condition. Through the analysis of this device, this thesis demonstrates how the principles of the theater of the absurd postulated by Esslin materialized in the creative process resulting in a play that challenges our perception of reality and invites us to explore the depths of the human condition. In addition, it shows how each of the proposed elements are linked to create the proposed fictional logic and how it is achieved in this scenic exercise.
