Del acontecimiento social al acontecimiento poético Tránsitos y relatos del conflicto armado colombiano

Abstract

As a result of a series of questions raised by her artistic experiences, in the relationship woven between Colombian theater, the armed conflict and the construction of memories, the author reflects on how the various artists of the performing arts (directors, actors, actresses, playwrights) have lived the political violence and, through different angles, delves into the implications of their poetic bets. Thus, using the resource of art-biography (biographical accounts born from artistic creation), this text identifies, through the narration of experiences, different transits through the memory of the armed conflict in Colombia; this tool is chosen because it allows the understanding of creative acts, political bets and aesthetic decisions. From the social event to the poetic event moves between the possibilities provided by historical studies, the construction of unofficial memories, cartographic elaborations and theatrical studies with a political perspective. In this way, in a universe of micropoetics, compiled in three books and in which life experiences converge, knowledge and poetic memories, personal and collective, are constructed, carrying with them the potential of the word that heals and creates other possibilities.
