Altazor o el viaje en paracaídas: Transdisciplinary creation in alternative spaces from displazement

Abstract

The staging of Altazor o el viaje en paracaídas, directed by María Teresa Paulín Ríos, based on Vicente Hudobro’s poem, is a transdisciplinary research project funded by the Programa de Mejoramiento al Profesorado (PROMEP). Its objective was the creation of an intimate space through a language born of the syncretism between Displazement (the discipline of displacement) and theater, considering that to acquire the technique of this discipline requires a high degree of physical and emotional commitment which, like acting, is based on the creative intelligence of the practitioner. After week of practice, the actors managed to subtract the weight of their bodies through movement control, turning the space into a universe where actors and spectator could share their inner worlds.
