O Teatro Entre Elas: uma partilha sensível de teatro em comunidade

Abstract

This dissertation seeks for a reflection about the work presented at the group “Teatro Entre Elas¹”, supported by Associação Cultural Casa do Beco, (House of the Alley Cultural Association), in the field of Theaters in Communities, according of notes raised by Nogueira (2008b), intertwined by a notion of “sensitive sharing” postulated by Rancière (2009). To think about the group “Teatro Entre Elas” in the theater department in the communities such as a sensitive sharing is a reflection that comprises artistry and political dimensions, crossing this women’s group existence. Therefore, I state in this paper my life and art’s trajectory that has put me towards this phenomenal study. In this research, I evince the historical frames that comprehends the creation of the “Grupo do Beco²”, the conquest of a headquarters space and afterwards taking place permanently at the “Casa do Beco no Morro do Papagaio³”. Besides this, I debate, how come in this tangled scenery, emerges the desire and the birth of a women’s group, engaged on a theatrically perform. In the process of immersion in this study field, methodologically registered in the logbook, I evince and weave reflections from a lived experience, according to performed interviews with members and teachers/directors of the group and from the literature, as of a theoretical lens that sustains this research. It is however, from a narrative that sought to contribute for a discussion of practices that occur in communitarian contexts, and create an emersion of voices and bodies until then silenced and ignored.
