Abstract

This project aims to carry out an internship of six months of research in France (five months in Paris, one in Villeneuve lez Avignon), with two main intentions: to disseminate, discuss and enhance the concepts of "critical-rhapsode" and "virtual theater", fundamental in our research, and significantly expand the theoretical and practical frameworks that support our research. Since we propose two new concepts in the context of theater studies, the dialogue with one of the leading research institutions in dramaturgy of the world, the Institut de Recherche en Etudes Théâtrales, linked to the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3, will bring a substantial contribution to both disclosure as to the improvement of these concepts, especially as they dialogue with the work done by the Group for Research on Drama, coordinated by Jean-Pierre Sarrazac. Access to Théatrothéque Gaston Baty in Paris and the Centre National des Écritures du Spetacle in Villeneuve lez Avignon, and field research at the International Festival of Avignon Theatre will represent an invaluable contribution to the expansion of the scope of work.
