Abstract

This project aims at investigating the transformations experienced by subjects who voluntarily put themselves in touch with introductory studies of comic theater, assessing the effects of insertion of laughter and laughable as part of school component. The qualitative research will take place through the method of existential action research, with data from three workshops that will be developed with high school students from public schools education, located in poor neighborhoods in the city of Pinhais - Paraná - Brazil. It is believed that from a contact with the comic theater (laughter and laughable), human misery, with the notion of subject is incomplete and not divine can be relaxed create states capable of conferring the development of trusts required for access space to potential students in the process of education.
