Internet dramatizado y teatralizado: Grooming de Paco Bezerra
Dramatization and Theatralization of the Internet: Paco Bezerra’s Grooming

Summary/Abstract: The paper dwells on two phenomena that can be observed in a Paco Bezerra’s stage play Grooming, that is, theatralization and dramatization of the Internet and new technologies. The title itself reveals the main issue that will be covered; nevertheless, denunciation of grooming as a social problem is but a starting point for a broader pondering upon human conduct, which clearly has been affected by the possibilities of telematic tools and the impact of new media. Due to the recurring use of new technology, and its influence on dramatic production, it was necessary to include not only the stage play’s text, but also to take into consideration the staging of the play. Given the convergence between the theme and the means of expression, a most intriguing question needed to be addressed: the relation between theater, new technologies and spectators, whose perception and sensibility have undergone substantial changes.
