Live Cinema and me

My friend, Producer and Director Marcia Derraik, just sent me a link to a Live Cinema discussion panel that took place in BCN 3 years ago, organized by curator and artist Solu.
I've read some of the texts included on the excellent publication made by the event, and there are some real good issues on realtime creation, and how audiovisual composition is an idea already present in the beginning of the cinema with the work of russians Eisenstein, Kuleshov, Vertov, Pudovkin.
But in the other hand, I am not sure if I would define Live Cinema as an non-narrative form of art. What I intend to do is exactly force the limits os what is narrative and what is not, what is a supposed "objective" narration and a subjective understanding of a scene (and here I approach with the deleuzian comprehension of an organic regime x cristaline regime) Other point: in their definition, theater is not included in the disciplines mixed by Live Cinema artists, and for me it is crucial.
