Ábyssos: atrações entre corpo, imagem e magia para um teatro de horror

Abstract

This academic work discusses the way of a search for a possible theater of horror, revisiting three creation processes of the author, as director/stage director, in the context of her graduation in the Curso de Teatro-Licenciatura da Universidade Federal do Ceará. This approach was created from an obsession with the themes that surround the mystery - death, magic, the supernatural, the non-human -, through which a whole web of generative images, triggering textualities, process records, scenic materialities, work methodologies, allowed us to understand body and image as access routes to this possible theater. The main dialogues were created from the ideas of theorists such as Tadeusz Kantor, Antonin Artaud, José Gil, Georges Bataille, Cecília Salles, among others. The frames produced on this path, presented here in the form of a report, propose that the processes of creation imply a constant movement of search and opening.
