O ENCONTRO: do acontecimento a um olhar atento o espetáculo O Miolo da Estória.

Abstract

'THE ENCOUNTER: from the event to a closer look – the show O Miolo da Estória' is the result of a study that was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Due to the pandemic, people have been quarantined as a sanitary measure. This measure caused significant changes in the progress of the research aiming to study the reception of the theatrical spectacle "Ensaio Sobre a Memória" by Marcelo Flecha. Given these circumstances, it was necessary to change the approach of the research to study the analysis of the theatrical show 'O Miolo da Estória' placing myself as a researcher and subject of this research since I reflect on my sensory experiences during the reception of this show that occurred in 2013. For this, I focus on two methodologies: first, the method of self-ethnography, when I rescue my memory by dialoguing with the studies of Santaella and Merleau-Ponty on perception, Dewey and Larrosa on experience, and Artaud, Boal, and Dubatti about the event underlying this study. Then, I used ethnography while performing a technical analysis of the play using the tools of analysis of plays presented by Pavis. As tools, I acted through observation and used a notebook of records, interviews, digital platform Zoom, WhatsApp, and Instagram. This work contributes on studies of shows held in São Luís. These plays mustn't discard the role of the researcher as the subject of the research itself. Also, this work helps to emphasizing the importance of popular culture and customs of local society, which are full of stories and beliefs inherited by generations that survive to the present day.
