Description
In Ramón Griffero’s seminal work, The Dramaturgy of Space, the playwright and director describes his aesthetic philosophy and theoretical approach to theatrical creation, illustrating his theory through practical application in a series of exercises.
As well as touching upon some of Griffero’s own work, like Cinema Utopia (1985), Tus deseos en fragmentos (2003), Fin del eclipse (2007) and El azar de la fiesta (1992), this book also reinforces the practicality of Griffero’s concepts through a series of online videos. These videos break down each exercise, allowing readers to engage with the effects of his celebrated approach.
Published here in English for the first time, in a translation by the leading expert on Griffero, The Dramaturgy of Space reveals the internationally renowned Chilean artist’s thought process, and how his practice has influenced the theatrical, political, and social context, from the Pinochet dictatorship to the present day.
