Presence in Lume’s Work as Temporal Enlargement and Oceanic Feeling

Abstract

The article combines efforts to read Lume’s aesthetic based on possible philosophical connections supported by the notion of temporal enlargement and the Freudian concept of oceanic feeling. The philosophical-conceptual methodology was used to this end. The ideas of composition, fluctuation and saturation plane, delirium, the dissolution of borders and a sense of holistic connection stood out. Presence was the articulating element of Lume’s aesthetic, which is framed by the aforementioned conceptual principles. By exposing two possible receptions, the text intends the comparison with such knowledge to add layers of expansion to the theatrical aesthetic experience, not aiming to reveal meanings, but rather to propose intelligibilities.
