Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação aborda o teatro independente em Portugal, destacando a
evolução das práticas teatrais ao longo do século XX. Este estudo foca especificamente o
surgimento do movimento nas décadas de 1960 e 1970 e a sua influência na trajetória e
gestão característica das companhias nacionais. Para efetuar a análise, a pesquisa conduz uma
abordagem descritiva documental, explorando, assim, uma parte do Arquivo do Teatro da
Cornucópia.
A referida companhia desempenhou um papel de destaque no panorama teatral
português, mantendo-se ativa no período compreendido entre 1973 e 2016. Ao apresentar 127
espetáculos, predominantemente clássicos, reinterpretados sob uma perspetiva
contemporânea, a Cornucópia conquistou um notável reconhecimento junto do público e da
crítica especializada. O presente estudo visa compreender de que maneira as características
distintivas do teatro independente se refletem na trajetória da companhia e na documentação
preservada.
A dissertação pretende contribuir para uma compreensão mais abrangente da evolução
do teatro independente em Portugal, sublinhando a relevância dos arquivos teatrais como
fontes fundamentais para esse estudo, ao permitirem uma abordagem da história de uma
companhia e, de forma mais abrangente, da história do teatro em Portugal. Adicionalmente,
ressalta a urgência de preservar e compartilhar esses acervos, uma vez que tal iniciativa
contribui para enriquecer a herança teatral do país e aprofundar a compreensão da cultura e
da sociedade portuguesas.
This dissertation delves into Independent Theater in Portugal, tracing the evolution of theatrical practices throughout the 20th century. Specifically, the study zooms in on the emergence of this movement during the 1960s and 1970s and its influence on the trajectory and characteristic management of national theater companies. Methodologically, this research centers on exploring a segment of the Cornucópia Theater Archives, employing the principles of documentary description. Cornucópia Theater had a pivotal presence in Portuguese theatre, remaining active from 1973 to 2016. With 127 predominantly classic performances reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, the company earned notable acclaim from both audiences and critics. This research seeks to unravel how the unique traits of independent theater are mirrored in the company's trajectory and in the documentation preserved. Beyond its specific focus, this dissertation contributes to a nuanced understanding of the evolution of Independent Theater in Portugal. It accentuates the indispensable role of theatrical archives as foundational resources for this study, as they allow an approach to the history of a company and, more broadly, the history of theater in Portugal. Furthermore, it emphasizes the urgency of preserving and disseminating these archives, crucial for enriching the nation's theatrical legacy and deepening insights into Portuguese culture and society.
