I intend to reflect on the problematic construction of the identity of technicians and designers as workers. We will begin by contextualising the social and economic consequences of the outbreak of the COVID 19 pandemic in culture in general, and in the alternative theatre circuit in Buenos Aires in particular. We will address the main circuits of the theatrical field, focusing specifically on their modes of production and contracting. We will introduce our object of study: stage technicians and designers. We will mention their characteristics, their problems, and specific demands. We will look into the unions, associations, and groups that bring them together. We will give an account of the main actions developed in the first two years of the pandemic. The central hypothesis is that the appearance of COVID 19 deepened the labour precariousness that stage technicians and designers were already experiencing before the pandemic, and exacerbated the problems of the alternative theatre field in Buenos Aires in general. A partir del análisis del estado del arte, la legislación vigente y la realización de entrevistas, indagaré en las condiciones laborales de los técnicos y diseñadores escénicos de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, que pertenecen al circuito del teatro alternativo. Me propongo reflexionar sobre la problemática construcción de la identidad de los técnicos y diseñadores como trabajadores. Comenzaremos contextualizando las consecuencias sociales y económicas que trajo aparejada la irrupción de la pandemia de COVID 19 en la cultura en general, y en el ámbito del circuito teatral alternativo porteño en particular. Mencionaremos los principales circuitos del campo teatral, deteniéndonos específicamente en sus modos de producción y de contratación. Presentaremos a los actores sociales que estudiamos: los técnicos y diseñadores escénicos. Indagaremos en sus características, sus problemas y demandas específicas, así como en los sindicatos, asociaciones y agrupaciones que los reúnen. Daremos cuenta de las principales acciones desarrolladas en los dos primeros años de pandemia. La hipótesis central es que la aparición de la COVID 19 profundizó la precarización laboral que los técnicos y diseñadores escénicos ya vivían desde antes de la pandemia, y agudizó los problemas del campo teatral alternativo porteño en general.
