Theater, Law and Medicine are usually understood as activities without connections, but the intention of the seminar is to show the affinities, but also the contrasts, between the theatrical event, the judicial event and the surgical event, in order to understand the processualities, the demands and decisions of each of these modes of event. 

Performances, trials and surgical operations are not identical, but reveal deep homologies. The articulation between these modes of events clarify not only the analogies, but also the obscure points in each of these events in themselves. The seminar intends to analyse, through formal considerations, phenomenological approaches and historic situations, these homologies, differences and articulations. 

Bringing together philosophical theories about time and history,  subjectivity and objectivity, knowledge and praxis, and practical examples that connect actuality and expectations, narratives and  risk, cooperation and tensions, singular experiences and social contexts, the seminar will emphasize the ethical and moral dimensions of human action.
