13. In this fragment we see confirmed theatre's own affirmation that it is a live spectacle or a living cultural event , that being the result of the physical presence of bodies on stage; its distinguishing characteristic is that it is ephemeral or impossible to reproduce, differing substantially from those arts which, like cinema and literature, are lasting products that can be duplicated.
Lo relatado en este fragmento nos remite a la autoafirmación del teatro en tanto espectáculo vivo o acontecimiento de cultura viviente cuyo carácter territorial, efímero e irrecuperable, que deviene de la presencia material de los cuerpos en escena, lo distingue sustancialmente de las artes que, como el cine y la literatura, se plasman en soportes mediatizantes, perdurables y reproducibles.
