Backstage: influências da execução técnica de bastidores na cena contemporânea de Belo Horizonte

Abstract

This research arises from the need to understand the interference and contributions of behind-the-scenes techniques in contemporary creations of the Belo Horizonte scene. The topic, little explored theoretically and with little research in the area, means that technical work isn´t considered as an artistic expression, resulting in an activity in which professionals do not feel like they belong to the work of art but rather as mere workers at the service of productions. Therefore, bibliographical research is proposed, followed by mapping and investigation of productions already carried out based on management techniques, equipment used, difficulties and technical problems faced during production, in addition to observing the adaptations made for the best performance of the scenics spectacle. To select the corpus of analysis, was disseminated among the scenic community active in the city of BH, for expressions of interest in participating in the research with a selection limit of up to ten works carried out in 2023 and 2024. The project will use the field research, with interviews and questionnaires aimed at project managers and creative artists, both in the production and technical areas, in order to analyze the participation and knowledge of behind-the-scenes technical areas.
