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, breaking down each exercise and 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.

Recenzii

Adam Versényi translates and edits an eminently useful edition of Griffero's theory of the dramaturgy of space. A text that originally emerged out of the urgent need to expand the dramatic and scenic alphabet in the Americas to decolonize dramatic discourses, Versenyi's translation makes available to an English-speaking audience the collected reflections of what Griffero called "the artifice of the dramatic structure." As one of the most important voices of Latin American theatrical creation, this updated edition of Griffero's seminal text includes exercises designed to help the reader institute a practical application of his theory, while sharing his ideas and ethical, political, and cultural positions towards scenic creation. A necessary book for all artistic creators and scholars.
Playwright-director Ramón Griffero's The Dramaturgy of Space encapsulates a forty-year career spent conceptualizing, writing, directing, and teaching for the stage. Through reflections, exercises, video links, and photographs, Griffero immerses the reader in his refreshingly spatial approach to theatrical creation; and in the process the Chilean artist ably demonstrates 'that not everything that comes from the periphery is a mechanical reproduction of ad hoc models from the centre'. Adam Versényi's translation is a most welcome addition to the Theatre Makers series.
