THEATER OF THE OPPRESSED AND PERSPECTIVES OF CARE.

 Theater of the Oppressed, Care, Poetics of Care.

This research is dedicated to investigating the political meaning of Care and its relationship with the Theater of the Oppressed. Among the objectives listed for this purpose are: the elaboration of an analysis on the gaze perpetrated by Augusto Boal on the most vulnerable bodies, a study on the guiding ethical precept constant in the tree of the Theater of the Oppressed in dialogic correlation with the aspect of Ethics of Care in Joan Tronto, in addition to the aesthetic search for a space situated in this order of ideas. In this sense, we aspire to confirm the hypothesis that the Theater of the Oppressed corresponds to a privileged field of cultivation of Care. To this end, some conceptual notes relevant to the subject are examined, especially in line with its mythical, semantic, philological, legal, categorical genesis, in addition to the collation of voices that represent a decolonial thought. As for the methods adopted, there is a qualitative approach in addition to an investigative procedure of an aesthetic nature whose triggers for the installation of an asceticism derive from the games and exercises of the Teatro Forum e Imagem and equip individuals to promote their own productions in a condition of protagonism. Subsequently, striving for a true claim to a Poetics, the arguments raised are reinforced, based on the proposition of many other artistic and pedagogical experiments, provoked by the most diverse voices that reaffirm the Theater of the Oppressed as a space of Care in the VIII and IX Journeys of the Oppressed and University. Finally, to reflect on a curingage of care in the light of the experience of the Juridical Journeys in Theater of the Oppressed.
