COLETIVO DAS LILITHS: O DESCORTINAMENTO DE NARRATIVAS DE PESSOAS LGBTQIAPN+ HISTÓRICAS QUE FORAM SILENCIADAS NO BRASIL: Um olhar sobre os processos de criação dos espetáculos da Trilogia dos Trópicos

Abstract

This dissertation in Theater Arts reflects on the creative process for two works that are part of Trilogy of the Tropics, a project developed and realized by Coletivo das Liliths (Collective of Liliths) from 2017 to 2022 and that serves as a space of reencountering the narratives of LGBTQIAPN+ who were strategically silenced in the national context. In this collective effort, I led the creative process and served as director for each work, incorporating applied methodologies in order to speak of the sociopolitical reality of the dissident artists involved and identify what artistic practices Liliths can leave behind for future generations of artists interested in reencountering the silenced narratives of LGBTQIAPN+ people through theater art. Throughout the dissertation I reencounter with memories––physical and affective––related to collective artistic practices with the intention of sharing with the reader how the stage director navigated their anxieties to devise forms of theater making that appear across these works. This work is also an investigation invested in the signs and traces left by forms of knowledge produced in the rehearsal space, from backstage.
