A brief share about the listening game in the creative process…
In general, working with puppets is an invitation to exploration, in the sense that there are multiple possibilities to go through for the transmission of an idea.
Since the beginning of the Red Cloud Teatro de Marionetas project, we have sought, within the possibilities, to follow a sensitive path of experimentation, with philosophical support and connection to various materials for dramaturgy and an aesthetic that defines each show.
“This happened suddenly. Distortion ”departed from the themes“ Theater, Life, Distortion ”, based on the liminal game of possibilities that consists in the creation of a show that intends to operate in a sensitive limbo between specialty and reality, seeking to find “new ”possibilities for the process of creation .
It was through a sensitive game that we studied the most appropriate way to highlight an idea. During the rehearsals and with all the elements that were in play, we were taking options, and noticing the points that emerged in terms of text, image and movement.
The initial starting points for the development of the creative process are pre-defined taking into account some possible techniques to develop. With the evolution of the process, an aesthetic began to be clearer and to be defined.
Currently, the audience is expected to participate, in the sense of being a fundamental element to complete the dramaturgical structure of the show. At the same time, in the world of images, dreams, and visual poetics, producing essentials for this purpose, and thinking of a dramaturgy in the domain of images has become a challenge with all the technological devices available. Defining the structure, mapping the path to creation, identifying what age in the text and enhancing the creative process of sequential and evolutionary work of artistic elements reflects a true game of possibilities. We were facing a puzzle that needed to be solved. As we moved forward, the negotiation process became more and more important.
