Abstract

This research is related to the creative work of the actor. Through a theoretical and practical study, it purposes to potentiate the use of the image, most precisely of Francis Bacon's paintings, as a support for the actor's creation and reflection. Based on a study over Bacon's works of art and creative process, it is intended to construct an autonomous scenic "Figure", whose focus does not rest in the imitation of the image. In order to do that, there are used as primary references: the approach of Gilles Deleuze on Bacon' paintings as well as the interviews the painter has given to David Sylvester about his artistic production. Through this material, it is intended to map both a structure of transposition of the image and a methodological guideline of creation for the actor. From that practice, it is proposed a new discussion in order to extend the possibilities of interaction between the performing arts and the visual arts, through the support of certain theoretical writings of Antonin Artaud, Josette Feral and Hans-Thies Lehmann. Finally, the conclusion is the possibility of a constant re-meaning of the image as a working material for the actor, who passes to uses it indirectly, by apprehending it not only as a scene suggestion, but mainly as a suggestion of creative process: procedures and reflections (AU)
