Livros como estímulos e/ou disparadores: possibilidades da dramaturgia infantojuvenil brasileira na atualidade.

Abstract

In this article, I discuss part of my PhD research in Arts, in development at Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP). Based on the contextualization of the use of books for child and youth as stimuli and/or triggers in the Brazilian theater for child and youth and notes on the typologies and particularities of the books that have been used for this purpose, I detail some aspects about two books that gave rise to São Paulo shows in my investigation as foci of attention, observation, analysis and reflection. It is, therefore, an attempt to contribute to the understanding of the various possibilities of Brazilian theatrical text for child and youth, as well as its recurrences and tendencies, from the use of books as elements capable of stimulating, firing and directing the creation of theatrical works based on verbal and / or nonverbal languages ... or (words,) images and design.
