This article reveals a selected part of the research process of the piece We speak to you in chorus because no longer can anyone talk for themselves, which premiered in Santiago de Chile on April 31, 2022. The focus is placed on the breakdown of a method of creation and acting composition based on the middle field (Byron, 2018). Through that premise, the questions that led to this project are addressed and were brought into play, to question the deep-rooted belief in the performer as a bearer and distributor of the voice in and for the theatrical scene. In this order, this investigation addresses the relationship of the voice with the body through an expanded conception of the latter, which included all matter – organic and inorganic – as a vibrant vitality (Bennett, 2022). As a result of this research, a methodological approach has been proposed through three vertices of systematization: (1) the replacement of the semantic and Aristotelian order of the theater; (2) the simultaneity of materialities in favor of the logic of the whole; and, (3) the examination and disarticulation of the expressive behavior of the human voice. From here, a critique of the affective agency of the voice in the performing arts is ventured, under the order and domain of language.
