Chimetics, when poetics is tinged with worlds imagined in the key of baroque enchantment

Abstract

The baroque is conceived as a creative, centrifugal, corporeal and expressive force to create enchantment, which in turn enables the projection of imagined worlds that expand the frames of reference and the limits of the possible. Romeo+Juliet, a film version of the play adapted to the theater by Shakespeare, through the sensitive narrative power and its eccentric atmospheres exposed through light, color and sound, presents this triadic interweaving between the baroque, the enchantment and imagined worlds. This triad makes up the three differentiated natures of the chimera. The intertwining between chimera and poetics decants in Chimetics, a sublime expression of art that from the sensible dislocates the spatio-temporal logics established in the material universe with the consequent capacity for creation and expansion of meaning in a disenchanted world.
