Abstract

The following text deals with the process of creating the experiment Abject Feminine, in the light of its main guiding concept, abjection, as proposed by the philosopher Julia Kristeva. According to the author, the concept goes back to our first attempts to separate ourselves from the maternal body as a process of individuation. A process never fully completed, the abjection and the territory of the mother, remain as a kind of margin of the real. It is from this idea that Abject Feminine sought in the mother, or in the mother-daughter tension, a way to problematize the representations of the feminine today.

Keywords: Abjection, Feminine, Creative process, Contemporary theater.
