Resumo:
This is a research on the line Aesthetic Matrices in the Contemporary Scene, with the objective to analyze the creative process of two groups of Brazilian Black Theatre today, who in their creative processes dialogue with elements present in the religious universe of African matrices. To introduce the theme, a brief conceptual presentation is made about the words black and blackness, through the work Negritude Usos e Sentidos, by Kabenguele Munanga (1988). About the term black theatre, the trajectory by Abdias Nascimento and the creation of TEATRO EXPERIMENTAL DO NEGRO (TEN) serve as a reference, as well as the studies by Evani Tavares Lima (2010) and Cristiane Sobral Correa Jesus (2016). To analyze the creative process of two black theatre shows, one from the Afro-Brazilian Theatre Group of Alagoinhas (NATA) and another from the Caixa-Preta Theatre Group in Porto Alegre, theorists such as Inaicyra Falcão dos Santos (2015), Cecilia Salles (1998) and Fayga Ostrower (1987) serve as the basis. Finally, from the concept of Afrography,by researcher Leda Maria Martins (1997), possible paths are pointed out for those looking to develop an afrographed scene.
