Abstract

Different aesthetics theories have considered the ugliness as opposite of the beauty, but all these theories recognize the principle that the art has the power of representing in a beautiful way what is considered as ugly, and that beauty allows accepting the ugliness or grotesque. In the field of Performing Arts the scene director Alain Platel proposes a change in the dance beauty aesthetics paradigm and he introduces a new optics and includes another kind of movements out of the range of dance vocabulary. He finds beauty in what is usually conceived as deform, distort, unusual, discordant and in what is often considered as an illness or syndrome. Inspired by the world of disabled people, he discovers his interest in the emotional power of the deformity and looks for a physical language that he calls himself “the beauty in the ugliness”.
