description This article analyzes the tension between precariousness and professionalization, in the independent/self-managed/emerging scenic subsector of the City of Buenos Aires, focusing on the characteristics assumed by the artist-manager, and the paradox represented by the freedom/self-exploitation binomial, in the framework of neoliberalism, for the cultural workers. In the same direction, issues such as the institutional status of culture and the characteristics of the analyzed subsector are addressed, through the case of the cultural organization ESCENA; its production conditions, its audiences and its members. Along this path, we will try to transcend the imaginary of the independent scenic field, anchored many times only in the actors and actresses, to take, on the one hand, the multidimensionality of its agents; and on the other, the conception of community: the affective and supportive network that is woven between spaces, artists/managers/producers and the public. Cultural workers (performers, playwrights, directors, set designers, costume designers, lighting designers, sound designers) are subject to fragile labor conditions whose origins lie on different shores, ranging from the lack of regulation and corresponding legislation on the part of the State, even self-exploitation itself, the result of the processes of subjectivation characteristic of our neoliberal societies. This article approaches the context of health emergency due to COVID-19, highlighting and enhancing the weaknesses and shortcomings observed.

En este artículo analizamos la tensión existente entre precarización y profesionalización, en el subsector escénico independiente/autogestivo/emergente de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, centrándonos en las características que asume el artista-gestor y la paradoja que representa el binomio libertad-autoexplotación, en el marco del neoliberalismo, para lxs trabajadorxs de la cultura. En la misma dirección, abordamos cuestiones tales como el estatus institucional de la cultura y las características del subsector analizado, a través del caso de la organización cultural ESCENA; sus condiciones de producción, sus públicos y sus integrantes. En este camino, intentaremos trascender el imaginario del campo escénico independiente, anclado muchas veces solo en los actores y las actrices, para tomar, por un lado, la pluridimensionalidad de sus agentes; y por otro, la concepción de comunidad: el entramado afectivo y solidario que se teje entre espacios, artistas/gestores/productores y público. Lxs trabajadorxs de la cultura (intérpretes, dramaturgxs, directorxs, escenógrafxs, vestuaristas, iluminadorxs, sonidistas) se encuentran sujetxs a condiciones de fragilidad laboral cuyo origen abreva en distintas orillas, que van desde la falta de regulación y legislación correspondiente de parte del Estado, hasta la propia autoexplotación, fruto de los procesos de subjetivación característicos de nuestras sociedades neoliberales. Este artículo aborda el contexto de emergencia sanitaria por COVID-19, evidenciando y potenciando fragilidades y falencias observadas.
