The poetic body: the perception of the disabled in the perspective of the spectator

Abstract

This work moves his reflection from an artistic operation, which puts at the center of its narrative, dramaturgical and performative dynamics, an actor with disabilities. Fabio, this is the name of the performer, puts into play in the scenic action his body and his body as a vehicle of a series of constructs and meanings, of messages and communications purely afferent to the human dimension, as well as every theatrical action seeks and performs in its work of constant modulation of reality. The show invites us to ask: what are the criteria for which we consider a satisfactory performance? A competent actor? Finally, can judgment escape the logic of skill?
