Autofiction: The Dissolution of the Self is a seminar coordinated, structured, and directed by Sergio Blanco, focusing on the theme of autofiction in the performing arts and on the multiple challenges, risks, and questions that the act of speaking oneself on stage entails and provokes.
The seminar takes as its object of study the theme of scenic autofiction and its various modes of execution — from self-representation to autobiography, encompassing self-figuration, self-narration, self-reference, self-embodiment, and self-report.
Is it possible to self-represent on stage? Or, more daringly: is it possible to speak oneself on stage, when our theatrical pact obliges us anthropologically — that is, ethically and aesthetically — not to be ourselves?
This seminar takes place on the occasion of the presentation of the play Tebas Land, by Sergio Blanco, directed by Rubén Sabbadini, from 13 to and 16 November, in the Black Box.
