DE POÉTICAS A POLÍTICAS: TEATRO EN XALAPA EN TIEMPOS DE CRISIS

Abstract

Two years of pandemic left experiences and learning that will mark a before and after in many aspects of social life, which also reconfigure theater projects. Territorially delimited, my study on theater in Xalapa, state of Veracruz, Mexico, works on the categories of institutional theater and independent theater or group theater. In the second category, it is necessary to distinguish between consolidated groups, others in consolidation and recent initiatives. My objective is to present and reflect on the framework between their creeds (theatre conceptions), poetics (way of generating poiesis) and production-management that implies artistic and financial conditions and solutions. The above under the conceptual lens of crisis, contingency, vulnerability, and precariousness.
