Por no llorar. Breve ensayo sobre la causalidad de la risa más allá del proscenio

Abstract

From an anthropological point of view, connected to the performing arts, we intend to approach the enormous quantity of questions about why humans laugh, and more specifically, where does the laugh of the 21st. Century's audience arise? After an eidetic classification of the types of laugh and a distinction of the basic elements and tools that influence the current public, we will try to outline some of the keys which make ephemeral the border between 'pure' genres, for this barrier is considered an undeniable part of the audience's perception instead of part of the parameters that are unfortunately not precise enough to explain the theater of today -dramatic or 'postdramatic'.
