The theater - the sensible universe where the unspeakable is made known
The theater - the sensible universe where the unspeakable is made known

Summary/Abstract: The article explores the religious origins of the theater and its sensitively dependent on them becoming, by seeking to demonstrate how the stage has mirrored humanity's great shifts in consciousness. From the ancient theatre to the Renaissance, up to Chekhovian realism and the existential absurdity of Beckett, the theater has gone through the same transformations through which the human being has defined its existence, thus the theater has become another kind of narrative of the history of the world. A history of the beliefs through which consciousness sought to understand the absolute and the abyss from which it arose. The theater is analyzed from the perspective of a space of revelation, in which the unconscious contents that consciousness has accessed throughout historical time are staged. And the creative act is redefined as the act by which the being frees itself from the divine entities it has created. A demiurgic act by which the being recreates and thus masters time.
