Questioning and imagining new methodologies of artistic and creative research is a fundamental task within the contemporary arts. At the same time, performance offers tools to operate in everyday life and stretch the limits between art and life. This paper proposes a first approach to “performative research” (investigación performática): a hybrid practice that gathers the lessons of performative research and expands them through the resources of theatricality.
Starting from the distinction between the terms performative and performatic, a speculative methodology is articulated that bets on exaggeration, fiction and theatricalisation as engines of knowledge.
