The epistemological resonances of turning Derrida into a theatrical playwright

Abstract

Recovering the experience from the theatrical performance Higiene, I will try to focus on the aesthetic accomplishments generated not isolated by themselves but intertwined as a counterpart to the cognitive effort done by the authors of the play to try to grasp on three fundamental concepts of Jacques Derrida"™s philosophy; parergonality, decentralization and deconstruction were boiled down until they revealed their dramaturgical possibilities, as creative triggers for a theatrical performance that could defy the idea of thought as an exclusive faculty of the mind, instead, "Higiene" brings light on the actions of the body as procedures that convey and produce knowledge, in the context of theatrical representations.
