A PEÇA HISTÓRICA NO ÂMBITO DAS FORMAS TEATRAIS PÓS-DRAMÁTICAS

UMA BREVE ANÁLISE DA ENCENAÇÃO WALLENSTEIN DO COLETIVO TEATRAL ALEMÃO RIMINI-PROTOKOLL

Abstract

The following article analises the production of Friedrich Schiller’s historical play Wallenstein, as done by the German trio of directors called Rimini-Protokoll, as a form of producing these kind of plays within a postdramatic context. The production does not stage the original playtext or its characters. Instead, after defining certain characters as fundamental to the play and its universe, it set out to find human beings who can relate to the play, its thematic motifs and characters, with their own lived experience. In bringing these types of experience on stage, the production gives visibility to a historical research, in the form of anecdotes, that is nevertheless linked to the socio-historical imagination inscribed in the play. HenceFurthermore, it tests the importance of the plays aesthetic and filosofical universe against the lived experience of its “experts”.
