Abstract

This dissertation intends to analyze and redefine the practices of the so called theatres of the real, such as they were coined by Maryvonne Saison, in the end of 90\'s decade. Deny-ing, partly, the common argument that insists on an approach between art and life, in an unremitting friction between real and fictional elements, we seek here a theoretical analysis in which the aesthetic, political and social axes are interrelated, based on a fully historical understanding of the current time, understood as a result of all the processes of transfor-mation arranged since the advent of modernity. For this, here it is taken as central base of work the experiments and urban interven-tions created by OPOVOEMPÉ Group, a collective active inside and out of São Paulo City thirteen years ago, and not much researched and registered thoroughly in academic scope until now. Taking into account its continuous repertoire of research and presentations, the analysis announced here seeks in the immanence of such creations the symptons of a histori-cal time and a state of art, in order to enable the understanding of an inevitable path, histori-cally delimited, potencially able to reinterpret and reanalyse the political call of the contem-porary scene. This way, in a constant movement of analysis from the particular to the general, of the practical appropriation of theoretical formulations and of the recognition and elaboration of a steady theory starting from significant elements of the scenic praxis, mediated by the critic\'s exercise, without reiterating or corroborating any trace of the deep dissociation that currently decreases these three spheres, what can be found here is a desire to deepen two materials that still lach of specific unfoldings about them, avoiding the settled jargons of performativity and post-dramaticity, in way to make possible a new analytical leap in their approach, as well as a deepening of some of their ideas, starting from the contact with other investigative surfaces.
