O poder da comédia: processo de investigação poética e didática com o cômico

Abstract

This monograph of course completion will describe my closeness and unveiling of the inviting and transformative capacity of comedy and its various media and dismemberments in theater, and how its characteristics were researched and experienced in the daily lives of a group of actors and actresses. Fueled by a desire to make their own theater, still young and with time to dedicate themselves to this joke is born in 2011, Cia de comédia os loucos.com, live to this day and that will be the important element of this work that has grown transformed and was professionalized, concomitantly with my academic formation as professor of Theater. Inspired and mirrored in a specific work of the group Os melhores do mundo, Brasília, at the beginning of our formation as a theater group, we gradually developed our own way of working in groups, with the process of staging the Auto da compadecida of Ariano Suassuna. Next, we work on our next show, based on a unique mechanism to generate original dramaturgias. It is born in the middle of this common movement of the group a procedure of finalization of the processes, which always end in the comic, even if the starting point was a tragedy or a drama, which we started to highlight and which collaborates in the moment of thinking and sharing the way of playing theater, practiced within the collective or in any other social environment, such as in schools, other vocational groups and poor communities. We discovered a theater that attracts attention of the public, which motivated us to know this theatrical genre for presentation of contents, living its magic in the processes of essays and that generated a methodology of work as well as techniques of work of actor. In the final reflections I develop the concept of humalhaço, taken from our practices of language research with the comic within the group, Cia de comédia os loucos.com, and I define it as the energy that inhabits the people who chose to do comedy.
