Abstract

enIn a world where two artistic expressions, theater and photography, once considered incompatible, intersect, a question arises: how can the fusion of the ephemeral and the immutable enrich creativity and artistic experience? Through the exploration of an unexpected convergence, this work examines, through four theatrical creations, how photography, as symbol of permanence, can bring new depth to theater, an art form that evolves in real time. It also studies the balance between the passage of time and timelessness, between the excitement of the stage and the frozen permanence of the image. And, above all, it addresses the question: How does photography enable the engagement of theatrical aesthetic processes? This exploration reveals how photography inspires narratives, embodies past eras, while reflecting our current society. It also highlights its role in the narrative fabric, its influence on structure, and its contribution to the creation of visual settings presented on stage. Thus, we discover how these two forms of art, by complementing each other, transcend time and fixity to generate a new artistic reality, thereby expanding the creative horizons of contemporary stage art.
