La “Diversità” fra teatro e spettacolo
convegno, spettacolo, tavola rotonda
The "Diversity" between theatre and (freak)show. A convention, show, round
table discussion.

Bárbaros (letteralmente “balbuziente”) è la parola onomatopeica con cui gli
antichi Greci motteggiavano gli stranieri che non parlavano greco,
alludendo alla ‘diversità’ come un gap fisico e culturale insieme. Questa
‘diversità’ oggettiva  è appunto ciò che si cerca a teatro e che perciò sta
tra i suoi fondamenti come comportamento sociale, tanto che il teatro
stesso si può definire come il luogo dove questa diversità viene
com-misurata (mimesis) per meta-bolizzarla (katharsis), sia essa percepita
come etnica, culturale, psichica o perfino morale - sempre fisica in quanto
reale. Dunque oggi l’esibizione del corpo ‘diverso’ da parte di alcune
esperienze teatrali, ‘umanitarie’ o ‘artistiche’ che siano, è norma
piuttosto che eccezione e rinnova l’esigenza di chiarire il ruolo dei
nostri pregiudizi, distinguendo fra omologazione e banalizzazione del
‘diverso’: fra Teatro e spettacolo.
Barbarous (literally "stuttering") is the onomatopoeic word with which the
ancient Greeks mocked foreigners who did not speak Greek, alluding to
'diversity' as a physical and cultural gap together. This objective
'diversity' is precisely what is sought in theater and is therefore one of
its foundations as a social behavior so much that the theater itself can be
defined as the place where this diversity is met (mimesis) to meta-bolster
it (catharsis), whether it is perceived as ethnic, cultural, psychic or
even moral - always physical as real. Therefore, today the exhibition of
the 'different' body by some theatrical, 'humanitarian' or 'artistic'
experiences that is, is a norm rather than an exception and it reiterates
the need to clarify the role of our prejudices, distinguishing between
homologation and banalization of the 'different': between Theater and show.
