Autor: SILVA, Bruno Oliveira da Primeiro orientador: BORRALHO, Tácito Freire Abstract: This work investigates the presence and use of theatrical masks in the productions of the COTEATRO group in São Luís, Maranhão. The study focuses on the analysis of the shows "The Process of the Ants" and "Tales that Time Tells," establishing a dialogue between the scenic mask and the universe of popular Maranhão folklore. The research aims to verify the typologies and aesthetic functions of the masks used, understanding how these objects operate in the dramaturgical construction of the scene and in the director's language. Methodologically, the work adopts an exploratory qualitative approach, based on bibliographic research, document analysis, and ex-post-facto research, complemented by field investigation. The investigation proposes the cataloging and registration of the masks, analyzing the relationship between the actor/performer and the masked performance. The results point to an intersection between the tradition of puppet theater and local cultural matrices, consolidating the mask as a central element of the visual and dramaturgical identity of the works analyzed.

The study’s objective was the reinterpretation of five choreographies from the Cacuriá Balaio de Rosas (LABORARTE), employing the foundations of Sacred Circle Dances. Methodologically, this qualitative investigation is structured as a Didactic Sequence that articulates bibliographic research and fieldwork, utilizing interviews, questionnaires, and multimodal records (photographic and audiovisual), grounded in the relationship between artistic-cultural reception and mediation. The practice investigates how elements of the visual mandalas from the Portuguese tiles of the Historic Center and the movements of the Cacuriá offer traces and memories for the reinterpretation of wheel dances, as corporal mandalas, within the context of dance-education. Reflecting on the pedagogy of performing arts through dance, intersected by hybridism in the arts, the study analyzes the body-school and body-city relationship as territory, identity, and belonging. The results evidence that such pedagogical articulation enhances the appreciation of popular culture and the preservation of the tile heritage. By disseminating artistic-cultural knowledge and practices, the proposal contributes to the safeguarding of local memory and reiterates the historical relevance of São Luís as a World Cultural Heritage site.

The research aims to identify and analyze the constitutive elements of this character, considering its liminal nature, which navigates symbolic boundaries such as the human and the animal, the sacred and the profane. The study explores the visual, performative, and symbolic dimensions that shape the Cazumba, drawing on the theoretical contributions of Bakhtin (2010), Kayser (1957), Paiva and Sodré (2002), and Calabrese (1999). The relevance of this study lies in its emphasis on the Bumba meu boi as a cultural manifestation and intangible heritage, highlighting the grotesque as a potent aesthetic and cultural category. The research adopts a qualitative approach, which is particularly suitable for investigating the subjective and symbolic aspects of the grotesque in the Cazumba, enabling an in-depth analysis of the aesthetic and cultural meanings embedded in the performances of the Boi da Floresta. Data collection includes direct observations of the group’s performances in São Luís, Maranhão, audiovisual recordings, and interactions with performers to capture their perspectives and experiences. Additionally, semi-structured interviews with specific Cazumba performers are deepen the understanding of the character and its aesthetic construction. To date, empirical data have been cataloged, described, and analyzed in dialogue with a theoretical review of grotesque aesthetics. This review provides the conceptual framework necessary to interpret the grotesque manifestations observed in the Cazumba's performances. Results demonstrate how the character embodies grotesque traits through its costumes, movements, and symbolism, challenging traditional categories and promoting an aesthetic of transgression and reinvention. The research contributes to a broader understanding of grotesque aesthetics in the context of popular cultural manifestations, offering new perspectives on the cultural and symbolic impact of the Bumba meu boi.

Under the concepts of conviviality and technoviviality of Jorge Dubatti (2016), highlighting the singularity of theater through direct interactions, and the physical distance mediated by technological devices, as well as the concepts of media (CLUVER, 2008) and intermediality (RAJEWSKI, 2012), this research is characterized as a case study, of an ethnographic nature (ESTEVES, 1998) through an interpretative process of data and writings that takes into account the social, political and historical issues of these spectators, requiring the exploration of theoretical reflections to highlight the transformations in communication in the media: Theater and television. This report presents some conclusions regarding the experience of actors and spectators in different zones, whether in the same space-time, or in the same time but not in the same space.
