A document at artwork: memories of an affection
Creation process. Documents. Memory. Documental theater. Performing Arts
This proposes to analyses a creation process about construction of a documental work, structure itself through the selection and investigation of evidentiary documents upon the life and death of a teenager registered in letters, diary, pictures and reports. All this practice process is based by the memories documented in many materials collected, and in memories crossed to affections, willing to talk about the value of the history of the (real) life reported in the artistic scene. We think of the construction of a show that will merge the language of theater and dance, understanding the importance of thinking art in contemporary times. Our theoretical support is the result of the scenic practice and dialogues with authors who discuss about Documentary Theater, memory and creative processes in the scene. This research becomes important by highlight the documenting on the scene as the propellant of creation. We hope to cooperate with a material for the formation of actors, directors and researchers interested in a theatrical make and think that doesn’t dissociate the artistic construction of the artist-researchers’ socio-affective life.
