O teatro marí(n)timo: invenção e reinvenção de si na escrita autoficcional.

Abstract

This research presents the development of the Teatro Marí(n)timo methodology, whose initial conception took place during the undergraduate degree in Theatre at the Federal University of Maranhão. At that time, a Laboratory of Autofictional Writings was proposed, with eight participants, in which various exercises created for this practice were experimented with. However, regarding the composition of theatrical texts based on the methodology, it was not possible to deepen the process due to the limited time available for the activity. In the context of the master’s program, the central objective focused on refining the methodology, especially in its practical dimension aimed at dramaturgical composition. To achieve this goal, a creative laboratory was established in which the researcher acted as an object-participant, resulting in the play Planta Baixa. The Teatro Marí(n)timo methodology seeks to support dramaturgical creation processes based on the individual memory of the participants, who interact with the proposed exercises in order to gather material for the development of theatrical texts of an authorial nature. The theoretical framework is grounded in the studies of Philippe Lejeune (1995), Serge Doubrovsky (1997a; 2014b), Anna Faedrich (2016), Janaína Leite (2017), and Leonor Arfuch (2010), among others. Thus, this work contributes to the understanding of the potential of Teatro Marí(n)timo as a tool for dramaturgical creation by articulating personal experiences, memory, and autofictional writing.
