MONTAGE AND PERFORMATIVE THEATER: IT MAY BE CAIO FERNANDO ABREU
Performance Art; Performative Theater ; Creation Process; Montage; Caio Fernando Abreu.
I approach this practical-theoretical research from the concept of performative theater by Josette Feral (2008) from the creation of staging "It may be..." based on the work "It may be only the milkman out there" (1974) writing by the brazilian Caio Fernando Abreu (1948-1996). Therefore, I seek to combine the concepts proposed by the authors Jean Baudrillard (1990) and Jean-Francois Lyotard (2013) to do a comparative study on the creation of procedures based on the directors Renato Cohen (2006), Tadeusz Kantor (2008), Antonio Araújo (2011) and Robert Wilson (2011) grounded by the discussion proposed by Feral (2015) about the boundaries between theory and practice in theater do. In order to tighten the relationship between practice and theory, on this dissertation, I present in the introduction the concepts that have worked both in writing and in staging, developing research on the montage of a performative theatre in a single chapter dedicated to describing the creation process of play "It may be ...", articulating my voice as a director with the voices of the artists who participated in this project.
