ORAL SOUCERS ABOUT THEATRE IN PORTO ALEGRE: DIRECTORS MEMORIES ABOUT YOURS ARTISTICS PATH POST-DICTATORSHIP

Abstract

The paper examines the history of the theater performed in Rio Grande do Sul in the last decades from the point of view of directors and actors who had their training at the Department of Dramatic Arts of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul and that integrated relevant theater groups during the process of redemocratization of the country, hapenned from the late 70’s. The research investigates the way found by different groups to constitute their own scenic poetics, which were the specifics of the theater making in Porto Alegre against current theater practices done and how they used to relate to the notion of political theater of that period. We use the procedure of oral history through interviews to obtain narratives of the trajectories and spectacles considered by them as the most relevant in order to apprehend the sensitivity of each one about those experiences.
