The prolific Chilean actor, playwright, theater director, poet and singer-songwriter Alberto Kurapel launches this Tuesday the book “Contraluces of the scene”. Under Cuarto Propio publishing houseacting, film, video, photography, slides, electroacoustic music, dance and songs coexist in the text in a line of scenic expression.
Kurapel, who has researched and stood out as one of the innovators of theater and Contemporary Latin American dramaturgy once again delivers its “visionary” poetics, which lucidly inhabits critical and premonitory artistic marginality as a way of life.
From their editorial they indicate that, in this work, the author registers placing himself in the performative theater scene. “Themes that resonate fundamentally: equality, justice, dignity, migrants, native peoples, equity, identity. In other words, alterity, Otherness, hybridity, fracture and diversity in all its breadth and political, social and artistic dimension”, advance from Cuarto Propio.

“The author, who has carried out remarkable scenic hybridizations since 1980, once again surprises us by assuming a multiple fiction, making acting, cinema, video, photography, slides, electroacoustic music, dance, songs coexist, relating languages in resistance, ancestral identities, with information technology. Alberto Kurapel, goes through his double exile from his Latin American and universal theatrical identity, as a character and performer, he narrates it, he walks his paths”, it reads on the back cover of the work.
