For a post-dramatic of science

Main Article Content
This article explores the convergence between theater and science by highlighting some milestones that – from the 20th century to today – anticipate the post-dramatic movement and its impact on contemporary practices. Hans-Thies Lehman’s post-dramatic theory challenges the centrality of drama and promotes an expanded experience that pivots through body, space and time in a phenomenological manner. Erika Fischer-Lichte complements this approach by including concepts such as transformation and autopoiesis. Based on the post-dramatic theory, guidelines are proposed that allow the articulation of ephemeral and generative events, where theater and science can dialogue thanks to the interactive participation of different ranges of audiences. The need to address an experimental and collaborative approach is highlighted, suggesting interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary essays, unconventional use of spaces and theatricalization of research media, with the aim of showing new ways of making and producing knowledge.
