A través de la actuación, el teatro desafía la construcción de identidades cerradas y promueve la apertura hacia la otredad, permitiendo a los participantes vivir y representar la vida desde la perspectiva del otro. Se destaca la noción del "otro" como aquel que difiere en creencias, valores, costumbres y experiencias, y se señala que el teatro ofrece una oportunidad para superar la cosificación del otro al representarlo en su diversidad y complejidad. El ejercicio de interpretación exige trabajar en la configuración interior del personaje, reconociendo que tanto el personaje como ellos mismos están siendo reconfigurados en el proceso. Se reconocen ciertas limitaciones que tiene el teatro, como la imposibilidad de vivir desde el marco interpretativo ajeno y el riesgo de que algunos actores o actrices se centren en sí mismos en lugar de representar al otro, pero se enfatiza su valor como una herramienta que contribuye a la construcción de un mundo más abierto y plural.application/pdfspaUNIVERSIDAD ANTONIO NARIÑOhttps://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/1648/1489Derechos de autor 2024 Jesús Gerardo Cervantes Floreshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2REVISTA NODO; Vol. 18 Núm. 36 (2024): Nodo 36; 29-362346-092X1909-388810.54104/nodo.v18n36TeatroComunicación alternativaAlteridadComunicación alternativaTeatroAlteridadTheater as an alternative communication tool for living the othernessEl teatro como una herramienta de comunicación alternativa para vivir desde el otroinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículo revisado por pareshttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Cervantes Flores, Jesús Gerardo123456789/10725oai:repositorio.uan.edu.co:123456789/107252024-10-14 03:48:44.502metadata.onlyhttps://repositorio.uan.edu.coRepositorio Institucional UANalertas.repositorio@uan.edu.co

description	This article addresses theater as an alternative communication tool to promote understanding and empathy between individuals in a world where communication is limited by interpretive filters and subjectivity. Theater, through acting, challenges the construction of closed identities and promotes openness towards otherness, allowing participants to live and represent life from the perspective of the other. The notion of the "other" as one who differs in beliefs, values, customs and experiences is highlighted, and it is pointed out that theater offers an opportunity to overcome the reification of the other by representing him/her/them in his/her/they diversity and complexity. The exercise of interpretation requires working on the inner configuration of the character, recognizing that both the character and themselves are being reconfigured in the process. Although it is recognized that theater has limitations, such as the impossibility of living from the interpretative framework of others and the risk that some actors or actresses focus on themselves instead of representing the other, its value as a tool that contributes to the construction of a more open and plural world is emphasized.
