Abstract

It concerns a research which prioritizes to identify the possibility of conceiving a cure movement starting from the connection between the Dramaturgy of changing states concepts and personal mythology. Eugenio Barba and the Dramaturgy of changing states subsidize the arguments involving the personal resonances existing in the individualities and the collective, as well as the importance of them being exhibited during a pedagogic process within the arts field. Joseph Campbell brings wide contribution to the mythological perspective, as he clarifies the human being necessity to be in quest of his own experiences, which he coined as "follow your bliss", in other words, the act of recognizing the experience of being alive. Moreover, the experience idea, brought by Jorge Larrosa Bondía, is what feeds the research as it clarifies the cure movement, what equals the ecstasy's arrival - the pulse which generates the meaning of living. Therefore, the contribution of this research consists on the articulation of these concepts on the thought about the educational practice in theater. (AU)
