Resumen
Las terapias de conversión son prácticas que buscan cambiar la orientación sexual o la identidad de género de una persona, y han sido ampliamente denunciadas por ser ineficaces, dañinas y violatorias de los derechos humanos. Costa Rica, no es una excepción en la actualidad existen grupos y organizaciones que las promueven y realizan de manera clandestina o encubiertas como actividades religiosas, generando efectos negativos que violentan la dignidad de las personas y la aceptación y el respeto hacia la diversidad sexual y de género.
Visibilizar las terapias de conversión en Costa Rica por medio de la construcción de memorias nos permite recordar y reconocer la violencia y el sufrimiento que estas prácticas han causado a muchas personas en nuestro país. A través de la memoria, podemos honrar la resistencia de quienes han sido víctimas de estas terapias contribuir y a la creación de espacios seguros para la comunidad LGBTIQ+. Además, permite adentrarse en esa realidad no visible, para dar voz a sus víctimas contribuyendo a la lucha en contra de estas prácticas y a la construcción de una sociedad más justa e inclusiva.
El arte teatral permite a través de sus diversos estímulos provocar y sensibilizar tanto a los que están dentro como fuera de escena. El teatro, y el arte en general, permite explorar la realidad que nos rodea de manera crítica y buscar a través de sus herramientas, ser un vehículo de transformación social, ya que se pueden abordar temas vinculados a los derechos humanos, mediante el dialogo, reflexión y abordaje de la realidad. Este proyecto parte desde un enfoque cualitativo que busca a través de una producción teatral visibilizar un tema de importancia para la población LGBTIQ+, su creación se realiza a través de historias compartidas por personas mayores de 18 años, que son parte de la comunidad LGBTIQ+, que acceden por decisión personal y de forma voluntaria al proceso para que su historia pueda ser parte de una investigación para el desarrollo de una puesta en escena teatral que aborde la temática de la recuperación de la memoria de personas LGTBIQ+ que hayan experimentado terapias de conversión en Costa Rica.
Conversion therapies are practices that seek to change the sexual orientation or gender identity of a person, and have been widely denounced for being ineffective, harmful and in violation of human rights. Costa Rica is no exception. Currently, there are groups and organizations that promote and perform them clandestinely or covertly as religious activities, generating negative effects that violate the dignity of people and the acceptance and respect for sexual and gender diversity. Making conversion therapies in Costa Rica visible through the construction of memories allows us to remember and recognize the violence and suffering that these practices have caused to many people in our country. Through memory, we can honor the resistance of those who have been victims of these therapies to contribute to the creation of safe spaces for the LGBTIQ+ community. In addition, it allows us to enter into that non-visible reality, to give voice to its victims contributing to the fight against these practices and to the construction of a more just and inclusive society. Theatrical art allows, through its various stimuli, to provoke and sensitize both those inside and outside the stage. The theater, and art in general, allows us to explore the reality that surrounds us in a critical way and seek through its tools, to be a vehicle for social transformation, since it can address issues related to human rights, through dialogue, reflection and approach to reality. This project starts from a qualitative approach that seeks through a theatrical production to make visible a topic of importance for the LGBTIQ+ population, its creation is done through stories shared by people over 18 years old, who are part of the LGBTIQ+ community, who access by personal decision and voluntarily to the process so that their story can be part of an investigation for the development of a theatrical staging that addresses the theme of the recovery of the memory of LGTBIQ+ people who have experienced conversion therapies in Costa Rica.
