Abstract

This project aims to study the performativity construction procedures within the theatrical creation process. Adopting the performance and performativity concepts defined by essayist Josette Feral, I propose here the identification of creating scenes mechanisms whose core is built on those two concepts , as well as the description and analysis of results obtained in them . From this on, the study also aims to develop an overview of the assembly process of a play which is part of the performative theater field.
