O lugar e a cena : a territorialidade na poética do Teatro Experimental de Alta Floresta

Abstract

This work originated in the aspiration to understand how the relationship of the theatrical group Teatro Experimental de Alta Floresta (TEAF) and the location in which it is placed, is presented by the plays Fragmentos de Vida (1996-2006), Bateia (1999-2006) and A Santa Joana dos Matadouros (2012), and also how territorial issues related to the occupation of northern Mato Grosso State area, with its steps and stages, are related to the path and consolidation of the group. For this, cartographic procedures were used, which, based in Philosophy of the Theater, allowed a "remake" of the path of TEAF, fr the observation of materials and memories of theatrical events, materialised in theatrical, management and administrative documents, and also personal memories of this artist-researcher, as an actor and member of the group. It is highlighted that the way of being a theatrical group and its quest to understand and discuss its own place within these three plays, as well as having assumed the role of paying Cultural services to the city, by means of the production, diffusion and promotion of artistic fruition and other cultural expressions, has led it to consolidate as a "collective" insofar as it invested in poetics driven by the desire to understand and be able to criticize those territorial issues. These aspects have been decisive for the promotion of a movement that comes from a theatrical group which is sustained in the bases of amateur theater towards group theater.
