Abstract

Abstract: The city is home to theatres, performance halls, museums, etc. and is in itself a multidimensional stage. Moreover, the walls of the city are the open books of the memory of civilisations, as well as the supports for the works of the graffiti artists and the protagonists of the graffiti movement who perform a pictorial spectacle. Life in the city is an eternal spectacle, which calls on all the senses, and which could not be celebrated without the intervention of the individuals who populate it or visit it. This article aims to offer an overview of the interaction between the performing arts and the city, highlighting the aesthetic commitment and theatricality that emerges from the city turned into a stage. Keywords: City. Theatricality. Performing arts. Street art. Architecture. Memory.
