(A) Being in the City: Performing Arts Walk is a practice-based research project of artistic, performing and interdisciplinary intervention in the streets of Downtown Historic Lima staged in 2018 and 2019. This article shares its conceptual and methodological starting points, centered in the academic discussion about the configuration of the cities and the urban space, in which we take side in the everyday practices and the interactions that they hold, as the axes that configure the city, as well as the performative turn, which values subjectivity in research processes. It also presents this project’s reflexive origin about the being as entity and action, and its research axes that explore dimensions linked to the artistic, performative and knowledge of the city aspects. Finally, it shares the artistic decisions and the creative results to which we arrived.

El presente ensayo propone una reflexión acerca de la interacción entre la cultura digital, las nuevas poéticas que esta genera, y la creación escénica contemporánea. Para ello, se hace una revisión dealgunas nociones planteadas por autores que discuten sobre la cultura de red y sus nuevos lenguajes y realidades, se presentan algunas ideas sobre lacreación escénica en el contexto de la cultura de red, y finalmente, se comparten tres ejes alrededor de los cuales continuar con el debate sobre este tema.
