Abstract
The body as a creation territory becomes the main source of reflection in this paper. Firstly, as of the questioning dealing with the contemporary collective imagination about old age carried out between 2011 and 2012 by the Research Group “Arts of the Scene” from Universidad El Bosque in order to answer the questions: What is the vision of the old people in our society today? Who are our elderly?, and secondly from the focus in the dramaturgic creation and scene setting process which reveals the old age image, the bodies in state of decomposition image, the image of the body falling to pieces, corrupting, breaking up, distorting before our eyes; the marginalized, isolated, defenseless, repossessed, halted in time, alienated, useless body.
