A poética do Novos Arteiros: análise do processo criativo através da dramaturgia do espetáculo Africaniei

Abstract

The Novos Arteiros Theater Group, founded in Salvador in 2012, stands out for its innovative and socially engaged approach. The show Africaniei reflects the group's mission by exploring themes of identity and belonging through theater, music and dance. Set in three spaces in the Marechal Rondon community, the show uses scenography, costumes and lighting strategically to intensify the narrative and emotional experience. The group's creative process, which includes body and vocal preparation, strengthens the artistic and personal expression of the young actors, highlighting their resilience in the face of everyday challenges. Africaniei's dramaturgy addresses issues of cultural resistance and racism, using a collective construction to reflect the fight for racial equity and the preservation of cultural identity. The analysis reveals the show's ability to articulate and challenge social and cultural realities through art.
