Documentary theaters

a flight over a sea of possibilities

Resumen

Contemporarily, innumerable scenic creations are challenging the limits of the documentary genre and proposing new concepts. With the constant development of the field of Documentary Theaters, this study describes some of the documentary forms that strain the boundaries between the real and the fictional. It also shows the potential of these investigations, stimulating relevant reflections for debate and research in the performing arts.
