Assuming the complexity of the human mind and the cognitive process in which it participates, this article is interested in analyzing its activation in the spectator of a theatrical performance when capturing and processing the information transmitted from the stage. To do so, it draws on some of the theoretical arguments provided by the cognitive sciences and neurosciences, fields of study that use vocabulary and concepts with which to understand sensory and nervous activation, emotional interpretation, the construction of meaning, the connection with the performers and finally the cognitive process from which meaning, and experience emerge. In the analysis conducted, this information is presented through the lens of 4E cognition, an interdisciplinary approach to the study of human cognition that moves away from the traditional mind-centered focus by considering the emergence of thought and cognition as a phenomenon arising from the interaction between the brain, the body, and the environment. Similarly, autopoiesis is introduced and applied, a notion migrated from biology that refers to the capacity of living systems, read performers and spectators of a theatrical performance, to produce and maintain themselves. It will be concluded that the spectator in his role as receiver is active, in the sense that the information he processes is unique and non-transferable in a two-way communication space in which there is not one sender for three hundred receivers but three hundred interpretations of a single representational process.
