| Abstract | |
This study aims to analyze and reflect on the actor in contemporary theatrical practice, from material aspects that are treated as image and action and that are emphasized through the body. The attention turns to a scene that opposes the paradigm of a representative theater and focuses on certain material theatricality. For that, this study explores the notions of theatricality and performativity and the tension between the real and the fictional, to remove certain assumptions that guide a performance possibly converging to these proposals. From this, it is proposed to reflect on procedures and results that accompany the proposals and aesthetic language of Cia. de Teatro em Quadrinhos, which is based on the formation of a materiality that is created from the scene and that emphasizes the aspect of actor embodiment. Therefore, this research talks about body and presence of the actor in action, as principles that operate in this scene, considering its appearance and expressive material to produce images that aim to direct communication with the public without the intermediation of a fictitious body. With that, it takes into consideration certain performative attitude on the part of the actor, who acts as co-creator / collaborator of the scene and that is characterized as alive, active and real being. And in this circuit it stays between \"language and life, between the possibility of being and the confident of being, between representation of other and the representation of themselves, exposing their bodies and their action as reality entered and made present in time and space.
