Convivio y tecnovivio: el teatro entre infancia y babelismo

Abstract

Theatrical gathering is the get together of artists, technicians and spectators in a territorial and temporal crossroads (a theater, the street, a bar, a house, etc., at the present time) without technological intermediation that may allow territorial subtraction of the bodies in the meeting. As an event, theater is something that exists as it happens, and as a living culture it does not admit capture or crystallization in technological formats. Like life, theater cannot be caught in vitro, structures cannot be canned; what is canned from theater -in recordings, film records, webcasts, among others- is information about the event, not the event itself. The opposite of gathering is techno-gathering this is to say the living culture deterritorialized by technological intermediation. Two great ways of techno-gathering can be distinguished: interactive techno-gathering (telephone, chat, text messages, network games, Skype, etc.) in which there is a connection between two or more people; and the mono-active techno-gathering in which a two way dialogue is not established between two people but there is a relationship with a machine or an object, or device produced by that machine whose human generator is absent in space and/or in time.
