THE ACHIEVEMENT OF SPACE, VARIATION ABOUT AN ART OF MEETING: THE BAROQUE GESTURE

Abstract

If this article has a critical point of view, it is because it focuses on the goals and objectives of theatrical practices that, in an ideological-economic context, are at the service of the interest of “community-making”. This is due to the structural organization of the theater (both theatrical elements and the entertainment industry) which is part of the idea of “common factory”, where the notion of the public (and consequently of the people) is preferred to the notion of individual (ie banal, anonymous singularity). In view of such strategical organization of the theatrical phenomenon, practices in open spaces can then be considered as an alternative that incorporates the model of “biopolitics”, whose objective is to free life, to withdraw it from the institutional training commented by Michel Foucault in “The Will to Know”, when he analyzes “biopower”.
