Allegory of water and light: a pyrotechnic spectacle on the Rhine river in Düsseldorf in 1585
type: item
description: The "Julian Wedding" celebrations held in Düsseldorf in 1585 constituted an opportune occasion to spectacularly stage the assertion of power of a duchy in crisis — governed by the von Jülich-Kleve-Berg family — through symbols of authority aimed at strengthening relations with the Empire. In this context, the recourse to aesthetic models and masters linked to the Italian Renaissance reveals itself as a deliberate political strategy, supported by the use of encomiastic allegory. A precious source for the reconstitution of these events is the contemporary account by Theodor Gramineus (Dietrich Gras), practically ignored by historiography.

I carry what I can, i make a yard wherever possible: research and invention based on the narratives of migrant women silenced by official history in the construction of the new federal capital.
type: item
description: This study stems from the research and creative process of the performance "I Carry What I Can, Make a Backyard Wherever Possible", by the Coletivo Entrevazios (DF). It is rooted in the sensitive listening of stories from migrant women living in the oldest regions of the Federal District. In contrast to the official narrative about the construction of the new federal capital, this investigation proposes a memory politics that values the everyday life, courage, and resistance of these women, with the Barraca de Memórias action as a trigger for these silenced narratives.

Affective repurposing: A procedural conversation between texts, materials, and creations in the poetics of Image and place in the creative process of Peepshow Theater
type: item
description: Abstract: This scribbled procedure is a documentary record of the time and academic place in the journey of a doll artist in the creation of his poetics. In the whirlwind in which this process was established, cutting, pasting, superimposing, copying, tearing, mixing and resorting to everything that your eyes observe, your touch identifies and your senses absorb, becomes a fundamental procedure in the search for the creation of a poetic based on affective reuse. Intertwining of contents with the intention of a practice, lived, experienced and elaborated simultaneously in the time and space of this academic process, based on the coexistence and approximations of the theoretical and practical framework of Animation Theater and the poetry of Manoel de Barros with poetic devices of the image, serving as inducers of an artistic practice with Teatro de Caixa (Lambe-lambe), giving indications on what we call material and immaterial affective reuse for the creation process.

Bumba Meu Boi: how and When the Ritual Manifests
type: item
description: This work analyzes the diverse ritualistic dimensions of the Bumba Meu Boi cultural practices from Maranhão, recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. The study distinguishes the various ritual instances that compose the Boi's annual cycle, from the Festa Junina period until its "death" and closing in August. The research demonstrates that the ritualization of the Boi extrapolate strictly religious relations, manifesting complex syncretism and sociocultural negotiations in dialogue with the present time. To critically analyze the processes of continuity and transmission of these practices, the framework of Taylor (2003) regarding archive and repertoire is revisited, grounded in experiences of participant observation.

Blaspheming Across Borders No. 1: The Carnivals of Santana de Parnaíba and Cajamarca and a Brazil and Peru creation
type: item
description: The text narrates the first stage in the creation of Blasfêmia, a Brazil–Peru coproduction that takes popular and community-based carnival manifestations from both countries as a means to question elements of Latin American identity through festivity and death. Drawing from the carnivals of Santana de Parnaíba (Brazil) and Cajamarca (Peru), the process involved field research, artistic residency, and international circulation, generating reflections on a creation in transit — multicultural and frictional. The article presents the scope of the investigation, the account of the field experience in Cajamarca, and the principles that supported the subsequent movements of creation and circulation.

The city that each one sees, a show inspired by Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities.
type: item
description: This article presents and analyzes the play “The City Each One Sees”, developed at FINTA/IFSC -Florianópolis in 2023. The play was inspired by the literary work “Invisible Cities”, by Italo Calvino. It is a narrative performed by glove puppets with diverse characteristics who are in territorial displacement and find a new place to settle. The staging allows us to think about interculturalities and the symbolic dispute over territory, in a comical and reflective way. The proposal reveals multiple voices about the act of inhabiting a city and culminates in a perspective that values ancestral knowledge.

Elefanteatro: the walking performance of pygmalion moving sculpture
type: item
description: The article describes the creative process behind Elefanteatro, a street parade featuring a giant puppet that narrates the saga of a migrant family in search of a better life. Themes of immigration and sustainability are embedded in the diegesis of the performance, led by puppet theater group Pigmalião Escultura que Mexe in musical collaboration with Grupo Oriundo de Teatro. Engaging with concepts akin to “bare life” and “precarious life”, as proposed by Giorgio Agamben and Judith Butler, respectively, the work aligns with the political commitment of artistic representation to activate new perceptions and provoke ruptures in times marked by cruelty and intolerance.

Confluences and divergences between object theatre and close-up magic.
type: item
description: The relationship between object theater and other artistic forms that participate in the objectual dynamics, awakens investigative concerns. This comparative analysis likens concepts derived from object theater with the practice of a branch of illusionism called close-up magic. In it, the artist and the audience interact in an intimate way. The use of everyday objects intensifies the astonishing effect, which is the obligatory purpose of all magic games. Actor, manipulator, character, person, body and object system are the axes selected to establish confluences and divergences between both artistic specialties. This article is an advance of a research in progress for the doctoral thesis in Arts of the UNA, Universidad Nacional de las Artes, Bs. As.

Gordon Craig and the mask of method: Robinson Crusoe and his pyre of a thousand ships
type: item
description: Edward Gordon Craig was fascinated by masks. He collected, catalogued, but also researched its expressive and pedagogical possibilities. In Craig, the mask went beyond its concrete meaning to become a mechanism for investigation and deepening his research. The creation of personas, hidden under pseudonyms, was part of this artifice of creating a polyphony of voices created by himself, so that each line of reasoning could be carried to the end. On this contradiction, Craig built his heterodox and revolutionary thought. Lonely and contradictory characters, like Hamlet, satisfied him most of all. But his encounter with Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe, was symbolic not only because it reflected his belief in the mythology of the man who builds a civilization with his own hands, but also in that of the shipwrecked man, abandoned in a desolate and dark environment, like that of second great war that was already announced. This study deals with what I called a masking methodology, and due to the solitary and civilizing nature that this methodology implies, I use as a basis for reflection Craig's project of illustrating with engravings a publication of the novel Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe. Craig identified with the loneliness of Crusoe and Hamlet, and with their ability, despite being alone, to be many.

An approach to Lambe-Lambe Theatre as a scenic resonance device: (Intimate) heterotopias in the public space
type: item
description: This study uses a process of qualitative interviews and research-creation to reflect during the Covid-19 pandemic, on the trade of the "lambista" in Lambe-Lambe Theatre concerning the making of immersive dramaturgies through scenic devices which contribute to an "experiences of resonance”. These elements altogether highlight the importance of "being present" in the creation of sensitive dramaturgies that give rise to "other spaces" and shape "intimate heterotopias" set in the disputed sociocultural territory of public space".

“Lambe-Lambe” theater: a theater of possibilities
type: item
description: The present paper, part of a doctoral thesis in progress at the Graduate Program in Culture and Society at the Federal University of Bahia (Pós-Cultura/UFBA), seeks to examine a type of theater known as “lambe-lambe,” utilizing the basic concepts that guide the actors that created it, puppet artists Ismine Lima (1950-2022) and Denise di Santos.

The history of puppet theater from the perspective of displacements: a perspective
type: item
description: This article aims to reflect on the importance of migratory movements for the construction of a history of puppet theater in Brazil and Argentina. In this sense, we start from the premise that the historian of this scenic language must take into account the concept of “connected history” in order to create a “national history”, since international connections, which occur mainly through migratory movements, are fundamental for a better understanding of the trajectory of puppet theater in these countries.

description: In this brief study, I draw upon texts previously produced by myself and other scholars from earlier research, aiming to trace the paths of the "cassemireiros" who arrived in Maranhão. The intention is to offer data capable of providing an understanding of how the Cassimiro Coco puppet migrated from the Northeast to the Mid-North region, and, especially, how this puppet manages to remain present in the "toldas" (tent shows) of popular Maranhão artists.

Focusing on the virtual workshop ArteFatos(?), from 2022, I seek to analyze the process of opening personal memories at a collective level, thinking about the city through the recording space embodied by the documentary scene with objects. By exploring narratives about material goods that resist time thanks to an affectionate relationship with their owners, the project's main provocative material was twelve biographical accounts of residents of Araranguá/SC. Thus, through different artistic procedures, the work offers paths for reflection on the city and the search for a participating public.

About the origin of the Lambe-Lambe Theater
type: item
description: This article arises from a debate, a discussion, during the event “11º A Luz em Cena” [Held in September 2023, at the State University of Santa Catarina (UDESC) in Florianópolis], an event that encompasses the scenographic arts in its entirety, opening space for the discussion of various languages. The objective is to bring some references to address the origins of Teatro Lambe-Lambe and prevent them from running the risk of creating processes of invisibilization of Latin American women artists in relation to their creations. However, the aim is not to exhaust the references, but rather to indicate some so that they can access the information responsibly and avoid the spread of anything erroneous. It is an important article, to have a basis on what lambe-lambe theater is about, and then follow the discussions that have moved the lambeira community and that are also part of the scenographic arts.

The puppet and the mask as a social function in the Southeast folk festivities
type: item
description: The article addresses the use of masks and sculptures in the traditional folguedos (folk festivities) of the Southeast region, focusing on the Folia de Reis (Epiphany procession) and the Guarda de Congo (Congo Guard) of Espírito Santo (ES). In the first case, we discuss the mask in the Folia de Reis procession, both for the clowns or marungos, and for the Three Wise Men characters. In the second case, we discuss the percussive instrument called casaca. Typical of Espírito Santo, this reco-reco (scraper) with a doll's head is specific to the congo bands, and has features that could be considered mamulengo figures (hand puppets), due to being made of wood and having comical features.

Amazonian cask-body: rituals of animation and celebration in the nugget city
type: item
description: colonial rite that merges body, living costume, and territory into a single animated entity. It introduces the concept of the Amazonian mask-body as a living sculpture and critical device that turns animation theatre into a gesture of purification, denunciation, and insurgent celebration. The practice-based research positions the Amazon as an epistemological and communal field of poetic and political resistance.

From sculpture to the scene: the transformation of machines into machine-actors
type: item
description: This article addresses the participation of machines in the show A Última Invenção by the artistic collective De Pernas Pro Ar from the city of Canoas/RS. In analyzing the procedures used in the construction of the machines and the nature of the scenic actions established between the performer and the robotic machines, the importance of the memory of common objects and the playful interaction is identified as key to imparting a sensitive layer to these machinelike devices, whose appearance is far from human. It is argued that such devices constitute machine-actors that integrate into the scene, not to replace the actor, but to diversify the models of automatons in theater.
