Um documento em obra: memórias de um afeto

Abstract

The present work proposes to describe and discuss a process of creation, which is configured from the selection and investigation of documents about the life and death of a young adolescent. The documents were recorded in letters, journals, photographs and reports. The memories documented in these various archived materials and memories traversed by affections, are the dramaturgical basic of this composing. The creative process hybridizes the language of theater and dance, understanding the importance of thinking art in contemporary times. The theoretical reflection takes place through the result of the scenic practice and dialogues with authors who discuss about memory and creative processes in the scene arts such as: Salles (2006), Izquierdo (2012), Fabrini (2013) among others. We have been able to realize throughout the labs and textual writing that working with real history is not only an impulse, it becomes a necessity because to find in the other our history moves us as artists. The creative process raises questions and cope with choices, with diverse sensations between frustrations and pleasures, sums and losses, that intertwine our individual and collective worlds. The research becomes important for the area of art knowledge by highlighting the documenting on the scene as the propulsor of creation. It is hoped to contribute with a material for the formation of actors, directors and researchers interested in doing and thinking in the Performing Arts that does not dissociate the artistic construction of the socio-affective life of artist-researcher.
