Performance Metamorphoses
Objectives
To analyze the metamorphoses present in the concepts and practices of the performing arts from a long-term historical basis, giving special emphasis to the works and artistic processes that can better explain the hybridism of modern art. The relationship between art and science will be studied so as to explain concepts such as the laboratory, experimental or quasi-artistic types, etc.; art and travel (in its various forms), in order to explain the perspective of ethnographic research or contamination, of fusion, particularly by addressing interculturalism; art and life, in order to discuss transgressions of the artistic canons, specifically the artistic practices involving an excess of spectacle, or, conversely, anti-spectacle. This approach aims to provide students with conceptual and theoretical tools that allow them to discuss the contemporary performing arts with underlying historical context.
