Dramaturgias e espaços plurais: análise de Juana e Estado Vegetal, obras de Manuela Infante

Abstract

The dissertation delimitates the existing relationships between the spectacles Juana (2004) and Estado Vegetal (2017), by Manuela Infante, and the author's own urgent need for a theatrical performance whose spin is the deconstruction of the heroic and the appreciation of the "nonhuman". Based on the questions presented in the works, it is intended to draw dialogues between the social macro, in view of the criticisms and perspectives regarding the Latin American historical and political scenario, as well as questions arising from the bodies that go through these contexts. In accordance with the proposals of the playwright, the study works on the particularities of the texts and the theatrical scene, as well as the images that present the plays as dramaturgy and their references, thus linking the reflection to ecofeminist studies. According to the scenic practices and theories of the author herself, the analysis of the portrayed characters is important to understand the place of the subjects in the modern world and in the construction of non-human elements, the relationship between them and their insertion in the context of Chile. The present dissertation exposes the translation of the analyzed works in an attempt to bring Infante's practices closer to Brazil and to create dialogues between the issues arising from the reading and the staging of dramaturgical texts.
