Intermedial Experience: Temporalities and Spatialities in Tension. A Cartography of the 80s Theatre and Performance Practices in the Southern Cone

Abstract

In this article, we study how the use of analogue reproduction generates, in theatrical and  performative practices, irruptions of the audiovisual image that produce a disjunction in the spatial-temporal and aesthetic-conceptual treatment as an aesthetic-political tactic (De Certeau, 1979). This irruption would mark a unique relationship between technique and aesthetics which was inaugurated by the Southern Cone’s first post-dictatorial artistic practices. Under an intermedial perspective and a multidisciplinary approach, we will analyse the creation and reproduction of the audiovisual image in two micropoetics from Chile and Argentina, with a focus on the construction of memory. We will analyze Ramón Griffero’s productions in El Trolley (Chile) and G.T.L’s plays directed by Omar Pacheco (Argentina), as memory entrepreneurs.
