Abstract
The research focuses on the particular political character of the “Teatro Comunitario” (Community Theater) and the “Teatro del Oprimido (Theater of the Oppressed). These two theatrical expressions developed from the crisis of 2001 on, and within the framework of a certain social sensitivity linked to a “need of social action”. Both experiences seek to do theater in the community, have done an important work of multiplication and have nucleated (with different organizational levels) with networking.
The thesis proposes a theoretical perspective of the relationship between theater, politics and body, reflecting on power relationships, the building of hegemonies and the configuration of resistances, the political force of creative processes, the place of the body in Modernity, theatrical conceptions linked to sensitive exploration and artistic intervention in everyday practices. Then, a historical analysis is proposed around the relationship between theater and politics. In a diachronic way, theatrical experiences in our country are studied from the beginning of the 20th century to the present and their relationship with the political from the experiences of “teatro anarquista” (anarchist theater), “teatro independiente” (independent theater), theatrical expressions of the Instituto Di Tella, “teatro militante” (militant theater), “teatro abierto” (open theater) and “teatro por la identidad” (theater for identity).
After that, the analysis is focused on the “Teatro Comunitario” (Community Theater), an artistic practice carried out by neighbors of a neighborhood or locality and managed by community. In order to give a certain density to the analysis, notions such as identity, urban experience, memory and community are previously addressed. In 2017, 50 groups were counted in the theatrical movement. For the research, we have considered the two founding groups (Catalinas Sur and Circuito Cultural Barracas) and 18 groups emerged with the development of this practice since 2001 in the City of Buenos Aires, Province of Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Mendoza and Salta (Pompapetriyasos, Teatro Comunitario de Pompeya, Res o no res, El épico de Floresta, Boedo Antiguo, Matemurga, Alma Mate, Villurqueros, Los okupas del Anden, La Caterva, Teatro Comunitario de Berisso, Despa Ramos, Cooperativa la Comunitaria de Rivadavia y La Pampa, Patricios Unido de Pie, Cruzavías, Orilleros de la Cañada, Chacras para Todos, Alas). The history and the particular characteristics of each group are combined with a transversal approach, understanding the “Teatro Comunitario” (Community Theater) as a movement and, from this perspective, its activities, dramaturgy and organization are analyzed. Also, its network conformation and the exchanges produced in the “Encuentros de Teatro Comunitario” (Meetings of Community Theatre) are analysed.
Then, the second central practice of this work is analyzed, the “Teatro del Oprimido” (Theater of the Oppressed), focusing on the conceptual approaches of its creator, Augusto Boal, the debates around the actuality of this practice, the category of “the oppressed”, the role of the facilitator and the dramaturgy. The “Teatro del Oprimido” (Theater of the Oppressed) is a theatrical practice that tries to find solutions to the daily problems of “the oppressed" through dramatization. The work carried out by 5 groups in Argentina (Trafo, Rizoma, Casoneros, Movimiento de Teatro del Oprimido de Jujuy, Grupo de Teatro del Oprimido Rosario) that work in vulnerable contexts such as prisons, slums and neuropsychiatric hospitals, has been studied. In addition, “Laboratorios Magdalenas, Teatro de las Oprimidas” (Madalena Laboratory, Theater of the Oppressed) is analyzed, a practice that specifically works on gender oppression, a space only for women that is proposed as a laboratory based on exploration from different aesthetic languages. We have taken 5 groups that in our country use this methodology (Pura Praxis, Grupo Magdalenas de Puerto Madryn, Grupo Magdalenas de Rosario, Osadía y Fuerza Colectiva), the meeting with other groups in the I Festival Internacional and especially the configuration of a particular aesthetic is analyzed. Finally, both experiences are combined, to study their political meaning in relation to other theatrical practices, their meeting points and their differences, to delve into the transforming character of the “Teatro Comunitario” (Community Theater) and the “Teatro del Oprimido” (Theater of the Oppressed) from four topics that are considered central to the analysis of their politicity: creativity, community, sensitivity and memories.
