Producció i recepció en el teatre: La concretització del text dramàtic i espectacular

Abstract

A dialectic model applied as much to the aesthetic of production as to the aesthetic of reception is indispensable in dramatic theory, something with dramatic analysis clearly reveals. The (director's) dramatic analysis of the text to be performed or the analysis of the spectator who has watched the performance, consists in effect of discovering at the same time the system produced by a dramatic conception and of building a system of opposites which is the basis of the modern spectator's perception. Analysis of drama (of the written text or of visual perception) ends up being the intermediary and the articulation between production and reception. lt remains, then, to make explicit how, inside drama, three essential notions are responsible for the transition from one instance to the next: realization, fictionalization, and textualization of the ideology /ideologization of the text.

In this article Patrice Pavis, in order to achieve realization, approaches fundamental questions concerning the description and the interpretation of the messages in the theatrical context, proposing that every description of the performance implies a descriptive theory which raises questions such as: What metalanguage to use? Through which units? With what descriptive intention?

This article, which is structured in two broad thematic blocks (Production versus reception and Reception and realization), picks up and extends numerous concepts discussed by the great theoreticians of the subject.
