O agir simbólico corpo-vocal na composição poética cênica

Abstract

O artigo apresenta uma discussão do processo de criação do espetáculo teatral “Ninguém matou Suhura”, inspirado na obra literária homônima da escritora moçambicana Lilia Momplè. As reflexões teóricas sobre este processo foram balizadas nos trabalhos de Boesch (1991); Laban (1978); Merleau-Ponty (2011; 2012; 2013) e Tragtemberg (1999). Esta pesquisa teórico-empírica levou-nos a compreender a composição poética (corpo-sonora) cênica como um processo colaborativo que opera o campo estético a partir de qualidades de movimentos corporais e vocais e elabora nexos teatrais fundados em texturas imagético-sonoras polifônicas. As experimentações que resultaram desse processo fazem emergir processos de construção pessoal de conhecimento, que potencializam novas dinâmicas de criação pessoal e coletiva. This paper discusses the creation process for “Ninguém matou Suhura”, theatrical spectacle inspired by the eponymous literary work by Mozambican writer Lilia Momplè. Poetic Scenic Composition, approach chosen for the construction of this spectacle, aims to build a universe of symbolic actions based on an everyday context shared between artists and public. The discussion of body-vocal compositions that constitute the score of the spectacle addresses the qualities of movement (Laban, 1978) and the role of the voice and the choir in musical creation for the theater (Tragtemberg, 1999). Broader reflections on the aesthetic perspective adopted and the formation of the subject-actor in the context of the creation process are guided by the concept of symbolic action (Boesch, 1991) in constructivist semiotic-cultural psychology and the propositions on the sensitive dimension of self-world relations (Merleau-Ponty, 2011; 2012; 2013) in cultural philosophy. This theoretical and empirical research led us to understand the poetic (body-sound) scenic composition as a collaborative process operating the aesthetic field from the qualities of body and vocal movements and elaborating theatrical links founded in image-sound polyphonic textures. From the resulting trials, new personal knowledge construction processes emerge, which power new dynamics of personal and collective creation
