Theater. Public education. Society. Horror. Metalanguage
This dissertation discusses and argues about na educational experience with teenagers from the Edgard Santos Educational Center, wich was developed and apllied, from April to December 2019, against the background of the genre of terror and, methodologically, developed from the perspective of Ciane Fernandes on the performative research advocated by Brand Haseman’s manifesto. The metalanguage, presente in the cinematic tetralogy of horror called Scream assisted by the group, served as a basis for the creation of the dramaturgy of a horror play, involving, among other approaches, hate crimes. Therefore, in the dissertation, I discuss non formal educational processes in perfoming arts, presenting some concepts about the body, about metalanguage, the genre of terror etc., making direct associations with the experience lived in the educational center, discussing the methodology, the metalanguage in tetralogy, improvistions and dramaturgy creation of the horror play, as well as rehearsals and final dramaturgy. My main references were Anita Silva, Augusto Boal, Carole Marceau, Catarina Sant’Anna, Cecília Salles, Cláudio Cajaíba, Guacira Lopes Louro, Marcelo Sousa brito e Stephen King.
