Abstract
El circo. Primer arte de la performance surge con la motivación de aportar un estudio a la laguna existente en cuanto a la investigación en materia circense y su repercusión en el ámbito de la cultura. Teniendo en cuenta el alcance de su impacto en la modernidad se hace necesario esclarecer las consecuencias que esto provoca en la posmodernidad. Se trata de una tesis que, por un lado, pretende analizar algunas de las disciplinas que constituyen el circo con el fin de sistematizar las técnicas y ver cómo estas fundamentan la performance como la entendemos en la sociedad ultracontemporánea y, por otro, en consecuencia, difundir y visibilizar la relevancia del circo y su absoluta pertinencia en el campo de la investigación para entender las prácticas performativas. Para ello se proponen tres líneas de estudio: el circo, las vanguardias históricas y la performance partiendo de una hipótesis: considerar el circo primer arte de la performance. Los objetivos son: analizar el origen de las prácticas circenses y su evolución hasta la configuración del género; examinar los fundamentos y el desarrollo del espectáculo circense hasta 1970 (momento en el que tiene lugar el nacimiento del arte de la performance); determinar las estrategias que las vanguardias adoptan del circo; especificar el vínculo que mantienen figuras como Meyerhold, Artaud y Brecht entre el circo y la estética de lo performativo y esclarecer la relación que vincula al circo con cada una de las acepciones que abarca el campo semántico de la performance así como con su faceta epistemológica...
The Circus. The First Performance Art emerged with the motivation of contributing a study to the existing gap in research on circus matters and its impact on the cultural sphere. Considering the scope of its impact on modernity, it is necessary to clarify the consequences that this causes in postmodernity. It is a thesis that, on the one hand, aims to analyze some of the disciplines that make up the circus in order to systematize the techniques and see how these underpin performance as we understand it in ultra-contemporary society and, on the other hand, consequently, disseminate and make visible the relevance of the circus and its absolute relevance in the field of research to understand performative practices. To this end, three lines of study are proposed: the circus, historical avant-gardes and performance, based on a hypothesis: to consider the circus as the first performance art. The objectives are: to analyse the origin of circus practices and their evolution until the configuration of the genre; to examine the foundations and evolution of the circus show until 1970 (when the art of performance was born); to determine the strategies that the avant-garde movements adopt from the circus; specify the link that figures such as Meyerhold, Artaud and Brecht maintain between the circus and the aesthetics of the performative and clarify the relationship that links the circus with each of the meanings that the semantic field of performance encompasses as well as with its epistemological facet...
