Truth on Stage, Truth in Life: Boal and Stanislavski
Keywords:
Forum Theatre, Truth, Stage, Affective Memory, Physical Actions,Abstract
In light of the concept of scenic truth , this paper discusses the influences of the Stanislavski method in the early experiments of the Arena Theatre of São Paulo, and also shows traces of the Russian master’s principles in the Poetics of the Oppressed of Augusto Boal. The primary objective of the article is to encourage the construction of Forum Theatre, which uses physical rigor and Stanislavski’s psychological breakdown as points of departure. This work can be developed as the actor’s internal logic during the phase that precedes the creative process, before the intervention of audiences, and within professional stagings of Forum Theatre with more long lasting results.Downloads
