Alejandro Catalán, Bernardo Cappa y Analía Couceyro: The traces of praxis speech in Argentine Contemporary Theatre

Abstract

Argentinean Contemporary Theater harbors a group of creators that produce knowledge from their own practices, and by doing, so they share a language without knowing it. Their factual links are usually sporadic, temporary, and circumstantial, but this language expands unstoppably. It spreads underground and travels through the National Theatrical Field transcending poetics. The enhancement of this singular and specific knowledge of the scene throughout this work aims to make visible a place for reflection that has its own tradition for the artistic creation but also for the production of knowledge that arises from it. This article attempts to deploy the founding aspects in the transmission of this secret language that has been passed on for years within the Buenos Aires, Argentina scene by studying the Language of Praxis according to three main referents of the field.
