Antônio Araújo e o Teatro da Vertigem

a cidade em cena

Abstract

In the article, we discuss the relationship between the site-specific creations of Teatro da Vertigem and the city of São Paulo, territory occupied by the group from São Paulo in its shows. We return to the central concepts that underlie the collective's research, in particular, the notion of collaborative creation, as described by director Antônio Araújo, who directs Vertigem alongside Eliana Monteiro and Guilherme Bonfanti. After listing what moves the collective in deciding on its future creative processes, we follow how the creative and logistical dilemmas were faced in the making of Marcha a Ré (2020), performance-film created by the group, in collaboration with Nuno Ramos; work that exemplifies both the fusion between artistic languages ​​and the practice of continued research, which characterize the collective, as well as the relationship with the polis, an interest that results in stagings arranged in friction with the bodies of the city and citizens.
