Investigations about the emancipation of subjects through a theater teaching-learning process

Abstract

This article investigates moments that took place in one of the classes of the theater course offered by Escola Faces, from a community in the city of Primavera do Leste - MT, from the point of view of the interns who took part in the classes remotely between July and December 2020. It is intended to analyze this theatrical teaching-learning process by investigating factors that may have influenced the development of autonomy for the subjects involved, according to Paulo Freire. We believe it is possible to point out some events in the relationship between participants, permeated by the didactic conduction, which created favorable conditions for a transformative education, as defended by Freire. These moments were significant for a valorization of the subjectivities, to a certain extent, as a place of new distributions of the sensible in an emancipatory political process, according to Jacques Rancière. In this construction of the artistic-pedagogical link between the class, there was simultaneously a promotion of a liberation path of the individuals, in which they could recognize themselves as more emancipated subjects.
