THEATER; DRAMATURGY; CREATIVE PROCESSES; MYTH; COLLECTIVITY.
This research consists of an in-depth journey into the search for a poetics that is translated through dramatic writing. From the drafting of the show "Invisible Women", of the Estandarte theater group, based in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, the research reviews a set of previous experiences of the author, in an attempt to find understandings and ways for a better resolution of his object. And from the fuss regarding the past, by organizing the old notebooks of other processes, in addition to trying to solve the present challenge, the author also tries to promote a set of reflections on the craft of dramatic writing. The work also undertakes the responsibility to set up some exercises and procedures, which will be applied together with the Group, in the rehearsal room, with the aim of collectivizing the referential knowledge approached, establishing approximations of the whole stage with the dramaturgy it articulates. The research methodology is outlined metaphorically, inviting the reader to decipher its nautical charts, evidencing the routes developed by the author throughout the process, such as a rose of the winds that points in several directions or as a butterfly that flies on a map drawing paths. The theme, as it is called, deals with a veridical episode, in approximations with the documentary theater, when five women, who are credited with the office of prostitutes, were brutally murdered. From this rich material of research emerges a live, critical and pulsating dramaturgy that synthesizes a poetic.
