Histórias em cena: estéticas do oprimido como uma estratégia de cuidado inter-humano.

Abstract

The Theater of the Oppressed, created by Augusto Boal, emerges in a political historical period of much oppression: the military regime in Brazil (1964-1985). It is a series of modalities and theatrical games that appeared in a gradual way as Boal experimented with these techniques in detriment of the plasticity of the places where they were employed, attending to various oppressive situations, where the core of the activity was to withdraw the position of passivity from the People immersed in those situations. Gathering these ideas, we decided to analyze the potential caretaker of the Theater of the Oppressed through the eyes of the participants of a workshop offered at the Federal University of Ceará - Campus Sobral, seeking to get as close as possible to how each one experienced the games and how the games affected them, Analyzing this in consonance with the works of Martin Buber and Paulo Freire. For this we take as a research method the phenomenological analysis of content analyzing Sense Versions produced by the participants of the group at each session. From the considerations presented throughout the work and from the experience with the meaningful versions of the participants of the group, it was possible to establish that both Buber, Freire and Boal although allocated in the field of Philosophy, Pedagogy and Art, respectively, bring rich contributions To think about the field of health, and consequently, the aesthetic notions of the oppressed can present to the psychological field a valuable instrument of care and health promotion.
