It also studies the existence of some principles in the mask theater; marionette theater, and nô theater, such as: economy of means, focus, score of gestures and actions, neutrality, immobility and the relation of the actor with his energetic center, also known as gravity center. The study centers its analysis in two contemporaneous spectacles played in Brazil: Agreste directed by Márcio Aurélio and played by Cia. Razões Inversas in the year of 2004 in São Paulo-SP; and O Pupilo quer ser tutor´, written by the Austrian playwright Peter Handke and played by the Cia. Teatro sim... Por que não?! in the year of 2007 in Florianópolis-SC, under the direction of Francisco Medeiros. The research includes the concept of theatricality and its relations with the mimesis as concrete elements to discuss the interpretative work which distances itself from the naturalistic way of playing / A presente pesquisa tem como objeto a análise da interpretação teatral em encenações antinaturalistas. Também estuda a existência de alguns dos princípios presentes no teatro de máscara, no teatro de marionetes e no teatro nô, tais como: a economia de meios, o foco, a partitura de gestos e ações, a neutralidade, a imobilidade e a relação do ator com seu centro energético, também conhecido como centro de gravidade. O estudo centra suas análises em dois espetáculos contemporâneos encenados no Brasil: Agreste dirigido por Márcio Aurélio e encenado pela Cia. Razões Inversas, no ano de 2004 em São Paulo-SP; e O Pupilo quer ser tutor, peça do dramaturgo austríaco Peter Handke encenado pela Cia. Teatro sim... Por que não?! no ano de 2007, em Florianópolis-SC, sob a direção de Francisco Medeiros. A pesquisa incorpora o conceito de teatralidade e suas relações com a mimese como elementos concretos para discutir o trabalho interpretativo que se distancia do modo naturalista de atuar

A fim de alcançar-se uma compreensão das vias de teatralização utilizadas por cada artista, buscou-se reconhecer em seus espetáculos quais foram os modos de gestão da corporeidade dançante, as principais estratégias coreográficas empregadas e como foram manipulados os diferentes materiais cênicos. O recorte contextual escolhido para esse estudo vai de 1974 a 1993, demarcando dois momentos emblemáticos para a dança paulistana: a fundação do Teatro Galpão de São Paulo em dezembro de 1974; e a criação do MTD - Movimento Teatro-Dança 90 em 1993. A abordagem metodológica adotada foi de cunho qualitativo, valendo-se de depoimentos pessoais das coreógrafas e da reunião de documentos históricos de diversas espécies para realização das análises. Durante o processo de trabalho, buscou-se forjar instrumentos adequados à sistematização dos dados da pesquisa, resultando na elaboração de três categorias de análise: corpo cênico, princípios estruturais, estruturação da linguagem. A partir da definição de tais categorias, pôde-se realizar a apreciação da produção individual de cada criadora, bem como um estudo final comparativo de seus modos de produção cênicos, buscando-se capturar elementos elucidativos das tendências teatralizantes presentes nas danças de Célia Gouvêa e Sônia Mota. / Abstract: The main objectives of this study were: the reconstitution and documented registry of the production by São Paulo choreographers Célia Gouvêa and Sônia Mota in the 1970s and 1980s; an appreciation of this production to reflect on the roots of theatricality in scenic dance during that period. In order to understand the theatricality pathways used by each artist, an attempt was made to recognize the forms of dance corporeity management, the main choreographic strategies employed and how the different scenic materials were manipulated in their work. The contextual period chosen for this study goes from 1974 to 1993, delimiting two emblematic moments for São Paulo dance: the foundation of São Paulo's Teatro Galpão in December 1974; and the creation of the MTD - Theater-Dance Movement 90 in 1993. A qualitative methodological approach was adopted, making use of personal testimony from the choreographers and the gathering of several kinds of historical documents for analysis. Throughout the entire process, an attempt was made to forge appropriate instruments for the systematization of research data, resulting in the elaboration of three categories of analysis: scenic body, structural principles and language structuring. From the definition of these categories, it was possible to analyze the individual production of each creator, as well as make a final comparative study of their scenic productions, seeking to capture elucidative elements of theatrical trends present in the dances of Célia Gouvêa and Sônia Mota. / Doutorado / Doutor em Artes

Esta tese se propõe a investigar as potencialidades estéticas e críticas vinculadas à presença dos atores do cotidiano no âmbito das artes cênicas contemporâneas, com recorte em criações produzidas no Brasil e na Europa neste início de século XXI. O termo compreende pessoas que não necessariamente possuem formação artística e são convidadas a participar de uma criação a partir de uma perspectiva autorreferencial. Parte-se da hipótese de que a incorporação dos atores do cotidiano colabora para alterar o próprio \"regime de visibilidade\" (RANCIÈRE, 2009) dos corpos e subjetividades no âmbito das artes cênicas, ao ampliar as possibilidades sobre quem pode atuar no teatro e na dança. A partir do diálogo com os conceitos de teatros do real (SAISON, 1998; FERNANDES, 2010; MARTIN, 2013), teatralidade expandida (DIÉGUEZ, 2014; SÁNCHEZ, 2015) e teatralidade do público (CORNAGO, 2015), a pesquisa centra-se na análise da trajetória e de obras específicas de artistas da cena contemporânea que se destacam pelo trabalho com os atores do cotidiano, como o diretor francês Jérôme Bel, a brasileira Cia. Hiato, o coletivo suíço-alemão Rimini Protokoll e o diretor catalão Roger Bernat. A partir dessa análise, são traçadas algumas potencialidades vinculadas aos trabalhos, com destaque para a subversão de tradicionais códigos cênicos da representação, a intensificação da partilha de experiências com o espectador, a aproximação das artes cênicas com os campos da realidade e do cotidiano, a problematização de questões relativas à alteridade, a irrupção de uma teatralidade do coletivo, a projeção de espelhamentos com o público e sua participação na obra e, finalmente, o diálogo com o contexto onde o espetáculo acontece. Esse tipo de participação reflete um modo específico de expansão de linguagem do teatro e da dança. E mostra como a presença dos atores do cotidiano colabora para transformar as \"maneiras de fazer\" e os \"modos de pensabilidade\" (RANCIÈRE, 2009) das artes cênicas contemporâneas. / This thesis aims to investigate the aesthetic and critic potentialities related to the presence of the actors of everyday life in the context of contemporary performing arts, addressing creations produced in Brazil and Europe at the beginning of 21st century. The term includes people who do not necessarily have artistic training and are invited to take part in current creations from a self-referential perspective. We start from the hypothesis that the incorporation of actors of everyday life collaborate to change the \"regime of visibility\" (RANCIÈRE, 2009) of bodies and subjectivities in the context of performing arts, by broadening the possibilities about who acts in theatre and dance. From the dialogue with the concepts of theatres of the real (SAISON, 1998; FERNANDES, 2010; MARTIN, 2013), expanded theatricality (DIÉGUEZ, 2014; SÁNCHEZ, 2015), and audience theatricality (CORNAGO, 2015), this research focuses on the analysis of the trajectory and of specific works of artists from the contemporary scene who stand out by their work with actors of everyday life, such as French director Jérôme Bel, the Brazilian Cia. Hiato, the Swiss-German collective Rimini Protokoll, and Catalan director Roger Bernat. From this analysis, we outline some some potentialities linked to their works, focusing on the subversion of traditional theatrical codes of representation, the intensification of experience sharing with the spectator, the approach of the performing arts with the fields of reality and everyday life, the questioning of issues relating to otherness, the irruption of a theatricality of the collective, the projection of mirrors with the audience and its participation in the work, and, finally, the dialogue with the context in which the spectacle takes place. That kind of participation reflects a specific way with which theatre and dance have been working their language expansion. And it shows how the presence of everyday actors collaborates to transform the \"ways of doing\" and the \"ways of thinking\" (RANCIÈRE, 2009) of the contemporary performing arts.

O escritor Eugène Ionesco é um dos expoentes do teatro francês do século XX. Bastante conhecido por sua produção dramática de maneira especial, pelas peças La Cantatrice chauve e Rhinocéros , sua obra não se restringe, no entanto, à dramaturgia. Polemista, o autor escrevia textos de caráter ensaístico, muitas vezes em defesa da própria obra, e os publicava em jornais e revistas franceses, como Arts ou la Nouvelle Revue Française. Alguns desses textos, além de fragmentos de diário e notas acerca de suas peças, estão recolhidos sob o título Notes et contre-notes, publicado originalmente em 1962, obra que permite entrever o perfil crítico de Ionesco e as reflexões em relação ao fazer literário. O trabalho de pesquisa proposto consiste, pois, na análise dos textos que compõem Notes et contre-notes, buscando pensar uma teoria do teatro da derrisão, que se constrói dia a dia, por meio dos debates com a crítica em jornais e revistas. Da mesma maneira que existe na base das reflexões do dramaturgo uma ideia do teatro que as determina, também vemos no ataque/defesa em relação aos críticos uma ideia da crítica, anterior mesmo à sua produção dramática e que a extrapola amplamente. Para a investigação que ora proponho, acredito inverter o que seria o caminho mais habitual, da teoria ao texto teatral: aqui, penso de que maneira a teatralidade está implicada no perfil crítico de Ionesco. A pesquisa dos manuscritos do autor no Fundo Ionesco constituiu, nesse sentido, importante fonte para refletir sobre movimentos de escritura. A derrisão, expressa pela paródia dos modelos tradicionais, parece participar tanto da obra dramática quanto da obra crítica do escritor. / Eugène Ionesco is one of the most important writers of the French Theatre in the XXth century. Known by his dramatic production especially the plays The Bald Soprano and Rhinoceros his work is not restricted to drama. The polemic author used to write essays to defend his own work and published them in French newspapers and magazines, like Arts or la Nouvelle Revue Française. Some of these texts, besides journal fragments and notes about his plays, were collected in Notes et contre-notes, published in 1962. In this book, Ionescos critic profile and his reflections on literary writing are in evidence. This thesis analyses the texts that compose Notes et contre-notes, trying to think about a theory of the theater of derision which is constructed day by day, through discussions with the critics in journals. In the same way there is underlying the discussions of the playwright an idea of the theater, we can also notice in the attack/defense in relation to critics an idea of criticism. Following the investigation, I reverse the traditional way, from the theory to the theatrical text: I try to identify how theatricality is implicated in Ionescos critic profile. The manuscripts research of the author in the Fonds Ionesco is an important source to discuss writing procedures. Expressed by parody of the traditional examples, derision seems to take part in both dramatic and critic work of the writer

La théâtralité, idée apparue avec les avant-gardes théâtrales au début du XXe siècle puis théorisée dans les années 1960, connaît un net regain d'intérêt chez nombre d'artistes contemporains : si la notion naît chez les praticiens et théoriciens du théâtre pour distinguer celui-ci de la littérature ou du cinéma et le fonder comme un art autonome, c'est dans le champ des arts visuels que sa vitalité est aujourd'hui la plus remarquable, qu'elle soit utilisée comme une référence positive au théâtre ou dans une optique "théâtrophobique". Thématiques ou structurels, ces emprunts montrent que la théâtralité ne peut plus être pensée à l'intérieur du strict champ du théâtre comme elle l'était à ses origines. Traçant tant un historique des emplois de la notion chez les théoriciens et critiques qu'un panorama de ses manifestations dans des créations actuelles, le présent travail entend examiner la façon dont une partie de l'art contemporain, c'est-à-dire des pratiques non théâtrales au sens strict, est devenue une autre scène pour le théâtre - comme si les artistes trouvaient en ce "non-art" archaïque et tout à fait particulier un paradigme ou un anti-paradigme permettant de repenser à la fois leur propre médium, les modes de représentation et la place du spectateur. Nous souhaiterions aller ainsi à l'encontre des discours proclamant la fin des spécificités artistiques et la mort (incessante) du théâtre en montrant la pérennité manifeste de celui-ci dans d'autres champs, non pas nécessairement en tant que forme pure mais parce qu'il fournit un schème solide - cette théâtralité, aussi labile qu'essentielle, qui fonderait aujourd'hui, par un intéressant jeu de va-et-vient entre les pratiques qui l'engagent, un axe fort pour penser la contemporanéité du théâtre. / The idea of theatricality appeared in the context of avant-garde theater at the beginning of the XXth century, was theorised in the 1960s, and has recently been a subject of renewed interest for numerous contemporary artists. The notion was originally created by theater practitioners and theorists to distinguish it as an autonomous art form, different from literature or film. Currently, it is in the field of visual art that theatricality is most vital, explored either as a positive reference to theater or a more negative "theatrophobic" stance. These allusions, whether thematic or structural, illustrate that theatricality can no longer be strictly confined to the field of theater. Taking into account the notion's historical applications and elaborating a panorama of its manifestations, this study examines how several non-theatrical contemporary art practices have become another stage for the theater. It is as if certain artists found in this archaic and unique "non-art" a paradigm or an anti-paradigm, stimulating new approaches vis à vis their own mediums, representational modalities and the spectator's position. This study challenges discourses that ignore each art's defining characteristics and that claim the (incessant) death of theater by illustrating the continual appearance of the later in other artistic domains. Pure theatrical form is not necessarily questioned in these works; however, theater provides a solid model. This "famous" theatricality is as mutational as it is fundamental and establishes - through an interesting play between the different practices that engage it - a key field for reflecting the contemporaneity of theater.

Le théâtre en Centrafrique : de la théâtralité des rituels aux pratiques actuelles est un parcours de l’univers théâtral centrafricain. A travers le rituel du Ganza et celui du culte de Ngakola, précisément dans leurs aspects spectaculaires, ont été relevé des aspects théâtraux ou encore des éléments pouvant donner naissance à une forme théâtrale. Ces deux rituels ont fortement influencé certains hommes de théâtre centrafricains, qui n’ont pas manqué de les invoquer dans leurs créations artistiques. Les démarches de ces hommes étaient en réalité une quête vers la liberté. Ils voulaient d’une certaine manière se réapproprier une culture qu’ils commençaient à perdre au profit de celle du colonisateur. Le colonisateur, parrain d’un théâtre qui a du mal à se défaire - du « cordon ombilical » - des liens avec lui. Malgré l’indépendance et la renaissance de ce théâtre en 1960, avec la pièce A moléngué ti indépendance de l’Abbé Benoît Basile Siango, de multiples efforts restent à faire pour donner à l’art de Molière dans ce pays, ses plus belles lettres de noblesse sur tous les plans [artistiques, esthétiques, techniques, politiques et socio-économiques]. / The thesis entitled Drama in the Central African Republic : from the theatricality of rituals to contemporary practices, is a survey of the writing and production of plays in the Central African Republic. One can easily notice the theatrical elements, or elements that could give rise to some theatricality, in the Ganza ritual and the cult of Ngakola, especially when considering what relates to the spectacular in them. In the Central African Republic, these two rituals have had a great influence on certain number of playwrights who do allude them in their works. These writers are in fact aiming at more freedom. To a certain extent, they have been trying to recapture their own culture – a culture which they are gradually losing to that of the colonizer, the patron of the stage in the Central African Republic, with whom the link – the bondage – is hard to break. In spite of the independence of the country and of the revival of the theater in 1960 with the play entitled A moléngué ti independence by Father Benoît Basile Siango, considerable efforts still have to be made so that Molière’s art may regain its prestige [in terms of artistry, estheticism, techniques, as welle as political, social and economic commitment] in the Central African Republic.

Cette thèse se penche sur un pan marginal de l’œuvre de Réjean Ducharme, ses textes de théâtre, en s’appuyant sur les archives que l’écrivain a déposées à Bibliothèque et Archives Canada, à Ottawa, en 1986. Le corpus étudié comprend quatre pièces, deux publiées (Ines Pérée et Inat Tendu, publiée en 1976, et HA ha !..., publiée en 1982) et deux inédites – mais jouées – (Le Cid maghané, écrit en 1967, et Le marquis qui perdit, écrit en 1969) et leurs diverses versions.Le théâtre de Réjean Ducharme peut être divisé en deux « phases » scripturaires qui correspondent à des inflexions d’ordre thématique, pragmatique, poétique, générique et génétique, qui permettent de distinguer deux moments. Le premier, celui de la parodie et de la satire, marque l’entrée au théâtre de l’écrivain, d’ailleurs déjà célébré pour ses romans. La manière par laquelle le dramaturge aborde le théâtre québécois dans ses deux premiers textes, dont le sujet reste emprunté à d’autres (la littérature française pour le Cid maghané et l’histoire du Canada pour Le marquis qui perdit), ne fait pas l’unanimité puisque l’on reproche à l’écrivain d’être trop littéraire et trop prévisiblement parodique par ses références à des modèles du genre. Les deux derniers textes témoignent en revanche d’une interrogation et d’une mise à l’épreuve de la théâtralité, relevées par la critique, qui iront jusqu’au rejet du théâtre comme genre.Cette étude du théâtre de Réjean Ducharme éclaire l’usage que celui-ci fait du genre dramatique à la fois en s’astreignant à respecter certains codes et en se jouant de diverses contraintes; en témoigne, par exemple, l’investissement très singulier du paratexte didascalique de ses pièces. En somme, cette thèse de doctorat vise à faire connaître un corpus moins fréquenté de l’œuvre d’un écrivain reconnu par ailleurs et considéré comme un classique de la littérature québécoise contemporaine, alors même qu’il s’emploie, dans chacune de ses créations, à refuser toute norme, règle ou compromis. / This thesis tends to study a marginal side of Réjean Ducharme’s work, his plays, based on the archives the writer deposited to Library and Archives Canada, in Ottawa, in 1986. The examined corpus is composed of four plays, two published (Ines Pérée et Inat Tendu, published in 1976, and HA ha !..., published in 1982) and two unpublished – but performed – (Le Cid maghané, written in 1967, and Le marquis qui perdit, written in 1969), and their various versions.Réjean Ducharme’s theatre can be divided in two phases of writing equaling redirections of thematic, pragmatic, poetic, generic and genetic kinds enabling to distinguish two moments. The first moment is a one of parody and satire, and stamps the already famous novelist’s start in drama. The way the playwright approaches quebecois theatre in his first two texts, which subjects remain borrowed (to french literature for Le Cid maghané and to canadian history for Le marquis qui perdit), fails to win unanimous support as the writer is reproached for being too literary and too predictably parodic with his references to models of its genre. In contrast, the two last plays question and put to the test theatricality, as critic noticed, until refusing theatre as a genre.This study of Réjean Ducharme’s plays enlightens the use of drama he makes, forcing himself to respect some codes and also defying several constraints (the singular investment of stage directions in his plays testifies). In the end, this thesis aims for disclosing a less frequented side of an acclaimed writer’s work, considered as a classic of contemporary Quebec literature, even though he applies himself, in each of his creations, refusing all norms, rules or compromises.

Voir, écouter, sentir et constituer un corpus sensible qui rend compte de la diversité et de la multiplicité des formes et des propositions regroupés sous l'appellation des Arts de la rue.Cette étude s'appuie sur de nombreux entretiens avec des artistes et des professionnels du secteur. C'est un voyage au cœur des Arts de la rue qui assied le lecteur à la table où l'on pense et écrit les projets, l'emmène assister aux répétitions, aux repérages ainsi qu'aux premières représentations publiques et lui laisse ainsi voir la réalité de la création.Cette réflexion sur les Arts de la rue prend pour prisme : l'espace public, le spectateur et le processus de création. Après avoir esquissé un historique, les situations géographiques, politiques et esthétiques des espaces de représentation sont examinées et interrogées, tout comme la place et la fonction du spectateur constamment sollicité : mis en mouvement, surpris dans son quotidien, interpellé, questionné, appelé à échanger, à participer, à accompagner l'acte artistique dès son commencement. Enfin le compte rendu du processus de création constitue la dernière partie. À chaque spectacle ou chaque intervention, les artistes mettent en question leur savoir-faire pour tenter de renouveler leur positionnement dans l'espace public et face aux spectateurs. Ils jouent avec les repères. Le processus de création se révèle être un espace/temps idéal pour observer les Arts de la rue dans leur mouvement perpétuel. / See, listen to, feel and constitute a sensitive corpus which reports the diversity and the multiplicity of the forms and the offers grouped under the naming of Street arts.This study leans on conversations with artists and professionals of the sector. This trip on the land of street arts sit the reader on the table where we think and writes the projects, takes him to see the repetitions, the public first performances, the reality of the creation.This thinking on Street arts takes for prism: the public place, the spectator and the process of creation. Having sketched a history, the geographical, political and esthetic situations of the spaces of representation are examined and questioned, just like the place and the function of the constantly requested spectator: put in movement, surprised in its everyday life, questioned, called to exchange, to participate, to accompany the artistic act from its beginning. Finally the report of the process of creation is the last part. In every show or every intervention, the artists question their know-how to try to renew their positioning in the public space and in front of spectators. They play with marks. The process of creation turns out to be an ideal space / time to observe Street performing arts in their perpetual motion.

Ce mémoire de maîtrise aborde la notion de personnage dans trois œuvres du dramaturge québécois Étienne Lepage. Il vise dans un premier temps à cerner en quoi cette forme du personnage de théâtre se distingue des théories existantes sur le sujet, notamment celle de l’impersonnage de Jean-Pierre Sarrazac. Il s’agit de cerner les caractéristiques propres à ce personnage « en devenir », animé par le mouvement qui négocie sa construction dans un dialogue avec le récepteur. Cette étude centrée sur l’analyse du texte de théâtre puise ses fondements des observations des théoriciens de théâtre (Szondi, Lehmann, Abirached, Sarrazac) sur cette crise traversée par le personnage. La seconde partie s’attarde au rôle occupé par le récepteur au sein du texte dramatique. Les intégrations du récepteur lui confèrent un rôle actif, il se fait co-créateur. L’analyse du traitement que Lepage fait du temps immédiat et de l’espace décloisonné montre comment ces éléments contribuent à aménager cette place au récepteur. En dernier lieu, le monologue comme seul mode possible d’expression occupe une part significative dans cette réflexion sur le personnage de la dramaturgie d’Étienne Lepage. Au confluent des études sur le personnage, des théories de la réception et de la construction de l’identité, cette étude s’emploie à cerner le personnage « en devenir ». / This master’s thesis addresses the notion of character in three works by Quebec playwright Étienne Lepage. First, it aims to identify how this form of the theater character differs from the existing theories on the subject, in particular, Jean-Pierre Sarrazac’s "impersonnage" theory. The aim is to identify the characteristics specific to this "evolving" character, driven by the movement that negotiates its construction in a dialogue with the receiver. This study, which focuses on the analysis of the theater text, draws its foundations from the observations of the theater theorists (Szondi, Lehmann, Abirached, Sarrazac) on this crisis experienced by the character. The second part focuses on the role of the receiver in the dramatic text. The integrations of the receiver give him an active role; he becomes co-creator. The analysis of Lepage’s treatment of immediate time and open space shows how these elements contribute to the arrangement of this space for the receiver. Finally, the monologue as the only possible mode of expression occupies a significant part of this reflection on the character of Étienne Lepage’s dramaturgy. At the confluence of character studies, reception theories and identity construction, this study seeks to identify the character "in the making".
