Description:The work seeks to contribute to the production of knowledge about acting in the context of contemporary independent theater in the city of San Miguel de Tucumán-Argentina. We try to recognize the ways in which the territorialities of the actors' and actresses' bodies participate in the specific configuration of an artistic work.  For this purpose, we analyze the theatrical production Manifiesto por amor a los hombres, an autofictional show premiered on November 23, 2012, which addresses the issue of male homosexuality. A work developed through scenic improvisations, where the fictional construction of the play compromises the personal biography of the protagonist. This creative modality that favors the crossing between art and life in the figure of the performer enables disruptive corporal and acting experiences against theatrical forms sustained in the mimetic-scenic illusion, at the same time that promotes practices of micropolitical resistance in a social context that is not very favorable to sexual diversity.
