A estética da domesticidade e a linguagem da câmera na web: experimentos sobre o espaço cênico em tempos de performance digital

Abstract

Along the social isolation period imposed by the Covid-19 pandemics, numerous theater experiments via streaming and digital performances seem to have merged the idea of home – as the place of the intimate, the habitat, the individual – with the idea of scenography, creating an ambiguous and complex spatiality in which domestic spaces become virtual stages. These are practices that adopt cameras and screens as structuring elements in the spectator's experience, making use of image manipulation techniques that draw from the source of classical audiovisual language linked to the origins of the cinema (editing, editing, etc.), at the same time in which they propose new ways of operating and articulating images, adapted to the aesthetics of the web (use of multiple screens, etc.). Based on a practical research carried out with students at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, this work aims to raise some reflections on the adaptation and displacement of certain didactic-pedagogical practices on theatrical scenography to the field of audiovisual language in the context of the internet. It is intended to share some brief examples of digital performances created by students, in which we sought to find points of contact between the different domestic spatialities, and raise some questions about the aesthetics of domesticity, the language of performance in the context of the internet and the dramaturgy of the camera.
