This article proposes the positioning of the figure of the dramaturg within post-dramatic theatrical practice. It questions, on one hand, the ways in which the dramaturg’s agency influences artistic creation, while taking into account the possible controversies around his status as an intellectual, his ideological preferences and his subjectivity, and on the other hand, the potential which nests precisely in the philosophical capacity of this figure to problematise and analyse from the inside, even of his own gaze, the very idiom which connects the parties of the creative totality. In order to approach this very sophisticated and multi-layered theatrical presence, this article will address, among other, Saint-Exupéry’s drawings from his classic The Little Prince, Rafael Spregelburd’s visual experiments and Vincent Dunoyer’s dance of absence.

L’articolo tratta il posizionamento della figura del dramaturg all’interno della prassi del teatro post-drammatico. Si interroga, da un lato, sui modi in cui il lavoro del dramaturg influenza la creazione artistica, prendendo in considerazione possibili controversie riguardo il suo status di intellettuale, le sue preferenze ideologiche e la sua soggettività e dall’altro, il potenziale che si annida nella capacità filosofica della figura di problematizzare e analizzare, tenendo conto anche del proprio sguardo, un vero e proprio idioma il quale connette diverse parti della totalità creativa. Con l’obiettivo di approcciare questa presenza teatrale molto sofisticata e polivalente, quest’articolo si riferirà, tra altre risorse, ai disegni di Saint-Exupéry del suo classico Il piccolo principe, agli esperimenti visivi di Rafael Spregelburd e alla danza d’assenza di Vincent Dunoyer.

Abstract

This article proposes the positioning of the figure of the dramaturg within post-dramatic theatrical practice. It questions, on one hand, the ways in which the dramaturg’s agency influences artistic creation, while taking into account the possible controversies around his status as an intellectual, his ideological preferences and his subjectivity, and on the other hand, the potential which nests precisely in the philosophical capacity of this figure to problematise and analyse from the inside, even of his own gaze, the very idiom which connects the parties of the creative totality. In order to approach this very sophisticated and multi-layered theatrical presence, this article will address, among other, Saint-Exupéry’s drawings from his classic The Little Prince, Rafael Spregelburd’s visual experiments and Vincent Dunoyer’s dance of absence.
