Resumo:
The thesis identifies the existence of a poetics - understood as a collective creative process - unique to the city of Salvador, developed and preserved through its cycle of popular festivities, highlighting the characterization of
one of its main manifestations: the art of the trio elétrico. It closely examines the impacts of the “trilétrica” revelry on the theatrical practices of the city and identifies key aesthetic principles that defined a prosperous period for Bahian theater at the end of the 20th century. Using the practice-as-research method, these principles are applied in a theatrical experiment that hybridizes theater and carnival in an itinerant musical through the streets of Pelourinho.
