Dramaturgy in Puppet and Object Theater
When we think about dramaturgy for Animated Theater, it is essential to consider that this dramaturgy arises directly from the scene, the material used, the technique used and the countless visual and imagery possibilities. It is a creative process deeply connected with the physical and poetic elements that make up the show, offering a vast field for discussion.
This round table aims to present and explore the particularities involved in creating a dramaturgy focused on Animation Theater, highlighting the challenges, specificities and infinite possibilities that this theatrical genre offers.
