Uma análise geográfica a partir do ensaísmo Brechtiano: o espetáculo Desimpério no teatro Iurupari

Abstract

This work aims to create "bridges" between geography and theater, in order to dialogue with the construction and deconstruction of space, as well as its use and occupation. The research touches on the intersection between geography and theater, seeking to understand the dialectic imbricated in the text, by the German playwright Bertold Brecht, "The didactic play of Baden-Baden on the agreement (1929). The text received a theatrical adaptation at the youth and adult center of Teatro Iurupari, an extension and culture project at Ufopa in 2022, with the title "Desimpério", in which the language of epic theater manifested contributions to scientific work at the intersection with geographic science, in the face of social and epistemological issues. The monograph deals with questions about the use of the category of space, and the concepts of place and body, through which it is analyzed, through dialectical historical materialism, social phenomena and nuances of the ontological condition permeated by dialectical temporality in social contexts from the first half of the twentieth century to the present moment of the twenty-first century. Using the theories of "half-technical-scientific" and "half-technical-scientific-informational", by Milton Santos, and the aesthetic theory attributed to Marxist reflections, employed in the face of the corporeality of being in society, and its geosymbols that permeate places and time. Correlating geographical historical thinking with theatrical art, we will demonstrate that today's social environment, based on the capitalist mode of production and reproduction, hurts and removes the humanity of social beings, transforming them into beings willing to alienate totalitarian and neoliberalist regimes, with regard to the condition of work and the division of social classes.
