Teatralidade das margens: os sentidos da memória e do patrimônio, suas continuidades e descontinuidades no Teatro do Bebé.

Abstract

The laugh, intrinsic element in different cultural popular manifestation, is the point of departure to analyze the theatrical practice from the circus-theater. The comic, the clown, the duffel and the stage are marking aspects from the arts’ scenery “mambembes” in Brazil in century XX, whereof the Bebé’s Theater is derivative. The several spectacles presented by the group along the years own as protagonist the clown Bebé, figure comic created by José Ricardo de Almeida, the family’s father and the owner of the circus. The theater and the life “mambembe” are interconnected in the familiar life and the everyday and the familiar stories are aired by this professional activity shared, configuring a group memory that has private shapes of transmission. The theatrical group is connected by this familiar memory, responsible by organizers factors about the job and the performing arts practice, which are in constant dialogue with its time. This format of theater, new in the present, but keeping the features from the past as base to its structure, still has great adhesion by the places where play. Throw a look patrimonial about the theatrical practice which the goup/family is detainer bring themselves the challenges about current events from the discussion about the cultural heritage: the outside look about the group, the look from the group about its do, the uses from the cultural heritage and the paradoxes that cross all the process of patrimony.
