AFTER THE [ABISM]: an autobiographical narrative of a theater artist from João Pessoa-PB
Creative process, Autobiographical journeys, Contemporary theater, Paraiba theater.
The aim of this research is to investigate my professional career as a theater actress in the city of João Pessoa. Adopting autobiographical studies and life stories as theoretical-methodological inspiration, I seek to investigate how my experiences as a person born and raised on the outskirts of the capital of Paraíba constituted me until [ABISMO], a creative process that I consider to be the most impactful in my career. In terms of research, I present my path up to the process of putting on the show [ABISMO]. This decision is due to the problematic that guides the investigation and has to do with trying to explain the concerns that arose from the poetic-aesthetic experience that, for me, became abysmal in the sense that the process [ABISMO] has played a central role in my way of being a theater artist ever since. As this is a research project in which the personal narrative is also the main object of investigation, it can serve as a contribution to the reflection of artists in their adventures on the theater scene.
