Per un teatro di suoni. Riflessioni su possibili dimensioni sonore nelle creazioni site-specific di physical theatre

Abstract

Taking physical theatre as a reference point, in this paper I aim to explore the possibilities for a theatre that starts from sounds and places to develop its own forms, structures and contents. In the first part I explain what the expression “physical theatre” can mean, then I focus on the issue of space in theatre, before devoting a section to some peculiarities of site-specific approaches to the performing arts. The next step is to take into consideration certain aspects of the sound dimension in theatre, before outlining considerations that can help to start an exploration of a theatre of sounds that promotes new spaces for a real dialogue of this art with society.
