| description | This article addresses theater as an alternative communication tool to promote understanding and empathy between individuals in a world where communication is limited by interpretive filters and subjectivity. Theater, through acting, challenges the construction of closed identities and promotes openness towards otherness, allowing participants to live and represent life from the perspective of the other.
The notion of the "other" as one who differs in beliefs, values, customs and experiences is highlighted, and it is pointed out that theater offers an opportunity to overcome the reification of the other by representing him/her/them in his/her/they diversity and complexity. The exercise of interpretation requires working on the inner configuration of the character, recognizing that both the character and themselves are being reconfigured in the process.
Although it is recognized that theater has limitations, such as the impossibility of living from the interpretative framework of others and the risk that some actors or actresses focus on themselves instead of representing the other, its value as a tool that contributes to the construction of a more open and plural world is emphasized. |

El presente artículo aborda al teatro como una herramienta de comunicación alternativa para promover la comprensión y la empatía entre individuos en un mundo donde la comunicación se ve limitada por filtros interpretativos y de subjetividad. A través de la actuación, el teatro desafía la construcción de identidades cerradas y promueve la apertura hacia la otredad, permitiendo a los participantes vivir y representar la vida desde la perspectiva del otro. Se destaca la noción del "otro" como aquel que difiere en creencias, valores, costumbres y experiencias, y se señala que el teatro ofrece una oportunidad para superar la cosificación del otro al representarlo en su diversidad y complejidad. El ejercicio de interpretación exige trabajar en la configuración interior del personaje, reconociendo que tanto el personaje como ellos mismos están siendo reconfigurados en el proceso. Se reconocen ciertas limitaciones que tiene el teatro, como la imposibilidad de vivir desde el marco interpretativo ajeno y el riesgo de que algunos actores o actrices se centren en sí mismos en lugar de representar al otro, pero se enfatiza su valor como una herramienta que contribuye a la construcción de un mundo más abierto y plural. 2024-06-10 2024-10-10T02:32:10Z 2024-10-10T02:32:10Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501 http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85 https://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/1648 10.54104/nodo.v18n36.1648 https://repositorio.uan.edu.co/handle/123456789/10725 spa https://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/1648/1489 Derechos de autor 2024 Jesús Gerardo Cervantes Flores https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2 application/pdf UNIVERSIDAD ANTONIO NARIÑO REVISTA NODO; Vol. 18 Núm. 36 (2024): Nodo 36; 29-36 2346-092X 1909-3888 10.54104/nodo.v18n36 |
