Abstract

In this research live tried to problematize, through the exploration of various aspects narrative, character, degrees of fictionalization, “mimesis”, presence, intentional some tensions that permeate the work of the actor as well as the work of the performer. Such elaborations are related to two postdoctoral research processes developed respectively in New York City, under the supervision of profº. Marvin Carlson and in Berlin, under the supervision of profª. Erika Fischer-Lichte. In both cases, the intertwining between elaboration and experience functioned as a constant analytical axis. This fact acquires a special importance if we consider that it determines specific modes of approach, which aim at producing a theory of practice. Both experiences mentioned above took place thanks to the through support by FAPESP. (AU)
