Reflection and creation: correspondences in the context of contemporary theater. Different approaches and the case of Esta obra esta muerta [This play is dead] and Proyecto Vania [Vania Project]

Abstract

The present article deploys four elements: an approach to the link between reflection and creation in the context of local contemporary theater. This makes visible the patterns of thought that weave theory and practice and how ideas of research and creation intervene in this phenomenon. We will examine two work projects that belong to the authors and were conceived in the heat of a reflective-creative interest. Dante Parra will present ideas based on his work Esta obra está muerta [This play is dead] (2023) and Simón Cuadros from Proyecto Vania [Vania Project] (2023). We can contribute to a better understanding of the correspondences proposed in the first part of the paper by analyzing these cases. These are
all linked by a reflective and creative impulse to create what some might call a reenchantment of the world.
