Abstract

The present paper aims to develop, with audio description (AD), strategies of theatrical mediation to the spectacle “De Janelas e Luas” (Of Windows and Moons), considering the fruition, in a scholar context, of students with and without visual impairment. The methodology has as its base the principles of qualitative approach in education, with the intervention research as reference, anchored, mainly, on the bakhtinians premises of dialogism and alterity, with intervention in two fields of investigative execution. In the first context, denominated as exploratory rehearsal, the accessibility of the spectacle De Janelas e Luas was carried out, that comprises in AD and tactile exploration of the elements in the scene, in the auditory of the Application College of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (NEI/CAP/UFRN). The second context of execution consists in a second year highschool classroom, with both visually impaired and not impaired learners, in a state school from the city of Natal/RN. In that environment, the process concerns the theatrical mediation through a workshop, with encounters before and after the presentation of the spectacle with AD, with disassembly exercises (DESGRANGES, 2011), and tactile exploration. If the theater constitutes itself as the art of the encounter, through workshops and tactile exploration, it contributes expressively, to the reading of the spectacle De Janelas e Luas by young people with or without visual impairment, in a scholar context.
