At the end of the sixties, the preponderant slogan in the Colombian theatre was "all art is necessarily political", which suggested that each artist should assume a commitment to the political and social reality of the country, especially from the perspective of class struggles and historical conflicts over land. But, what relationship or relations between art-politics posed the theatrical creation experiences that emerged in the late eighties and nineties in the performing arts in Bogotá, especially in women playwrights and directors who proposed scenarios and theatricalities from a poetic fractal, micropolitics, and in many cases liminal?
From this brief context and questioning, the present manuscript reflects the lived corporal experiences of five Colombian playwrights-directors: Obeida Benavides, Beatriz Camargo, Clau Corredor, Carolina Vivas and Patricia Ariza, inquiring from their life stories for the material conditions, existential-emotional and aesthetic for artistic creation; the relation of the body or bodies to politics and "the political" in their works; the meaning that the arts have for their lives; as well as the place or places that his work occupies in the theatrical historiography of the country.
Reflections and situated experiences that were woven by the researcher of this thesis, from the experimentation between academic writing and dramaturgical writing, which resulted in the draft of a theatrical script that dialogues with the academic analyses. Script that is based on the memories of the five playwrights-directors with some memories of the researcher. Attempting to do so, explore other forms of production and, above all, circulate the knowledge that is produced from academia, feminist studies, and the question about, what place do we give to experience and the emotional, bodily, ethical, poetic and politic linkages that are woven into social research?
