Teatro menor: crises e potências na intersecção dos processos de gestão, produção e criação artística de um teatro latino-americano

Abstract

This article derives from my PhD research, in which I investigate the characteristics of theatrical production and management in a Latin American context of works, groups, ensembles and artists circum-scribed within what I defined as minor theater; a metaphor inspired by Deleuze’s and Guattari’s reflections on minor literature. Theatrical works where the artist (especially actors and actresses) also has manage-ment attributions were taken as practical reference, aiming to question both production and management processes as exclusively instrumen-tal, and observing their implications as a medium. This change of per-spective aims to reorganize the production process, suggesting that the relationship between creative and production processes defines the ideological practices of this type of “theater making”.
