Nel procedimento scenografico, a differenza che nell’edilizia architettonica, il metodo prospettico rappresenta il punto creativo di partenza del processo progettuale. La prospettiva, assecondando il punto di vista privilegiato del destinatario della fruizione, esprime infatti, in un sol tratto, l’idea progettuale dell’autore e le informazioni tecniche atte a consentirne la realizzazione tridimensionale. In particolare, nel procedimento scenografico (a priori) e scenotecnico (a posteriori), lo strumento prospettico si concretizza nel bozzetto, laddove la prospettiva assume un ruolo guida nel processo progettuale e il suo valore prefigurativo si fonde con l’immediatezza comunicativa dello schizzo manuale. In tale manualità si ritrova il valore non solo tecnico-artigianale del bozzetto scenico, ma anche quello artistico, in quanto il segno grafico non veicola solo informazioni “oggettive”, inerenti cioè al dimensionamento dello spazio scenico o al suo equipaggiamento funzionale, ma anche (e soprattutto) un magistero unico, benché ripetibile, che, proprio per questa sua autografia, è evocativo di un’idea che, in fase realizzativa, dà adito a un’interpretazione addirittura di tipo filologico. Se da un lato, cioè, il bozzetto è assumibile come “segno”, contenitore di informazioni propedeutiche al suo sviluppo tridimensionale, dall’altro la manualità del suo ideatore è interpretabile come “gesto” e quindi assume una valenza artistica intrascurabile. Un’ulteriore considerazione riguarda il rapporto tra espressione grafica e funzionalismo, del cui intento il bozzetto, per sua stessa natura, è (ma solo) apparentemente scevro. Attraverso esempi desunti dal repertorio classico e contemporaneo, il testo mira a focalizzare l’importanza della libertà grafico-manuale con cui il bozzetto attiva e catalizza immaginari, predisponendoli alla realizzazione concreta e ricapitolandoli per tutta la durata del processo creativo, senza mai abbandonare la sua manualità costitutiva.

Abstract

In the stage process, unlike architectural building, the perspective method represents the crea-tive starting point of the design process. In fact, the perspective, supporting the privileged point of view of the recipient of the fruition, expresses at the same time both the author’s design idea, and the technical information to allow its three-dimensional realization. In particular, in the stage process (a priori) and stagecraft procedure (a posteriori), the perspective instrument is concre-tized in the bozzetto, where it assumes a leading role in the planning process and its prefigurative value merges with the communicative hand-drawing immediacy. In such a manual skill, not only the handcraft value of the stage sketch can be retrieved, but also its artistic one, as the graphic sign does not convey only ‘objective’ data, such as the dimensioning of the stage space or its functional equipment, but also (and above all) a magisterium, unique although repeatable, which is evocative of an idea, precisely because of its autograph, thus interpretable even philologically. For this reasons, on the one hand, the sketch can be assumed as a ‘sign’, a container of informa-tion, preparatory to its three-dimensional development. On the other hand, the manual skill of its creator can be interpreted as a ‘gesture’ and therefore acquires an artistic value that cannot be darkened. If the first aspect is completed by the physical building, the second one finds its fulfilment in the performative staging. A further consideration therefore concerns the relation-ship between graphic expression and functionalism, whose intent, by its nature, the sketch is only apparently devoid. Through the state of the art and many examples from the classical and contemporary repertoire, the paper aims to focus on the importance of graphic-manual freedom, thanks to which the sketch activates and catalyzes imaginary, preparing them for concrete reali-zation, without ever abandoning its constitutive manual graphic skill
