Abstract

DEBUS, José Carlos dos Santos  and  BALCA, Ângela. The theater of the oppressed: mediation and construction of autonomy. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2022, vol.38, e82174.  Epub Mar 03, 2022. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-4060.82174.

The following text aims to situate and demonstrate the results of an experience of appropriation and use of the methodological principles of the Theater of the Oppressed (BOAL, 2015) in mediation strategies for the teaching of Arts in schools with the Arts teachers of the education system in the municipality of São José in Santa Catarina, Brazil. We pointed out some factors considered favorable to the student's autonomy and ability to interpret and compose the world from his relations in the field of teaching / learning developed through artistic dialogues and through investigative and committed to democratic and free perspectives workshops. Our theoretical framework relied on the ideas of Augusto Boal in the field of dramaturgy and Paulo Freire and Immanuel Kant in the field of education. The workshops allowed a profound reflection on the current moment of Brazilian education, totally professionalizing, which leaves no space and time for what is not written or calculated. The metaphor of João and Maria made it possible for teachers to seek for the student's look within the teaching / learning space and to take this look into account in the process of building knowledge within a constitutionally democratic and open to experiences space.

Keywords : Autonomy; Mediation; Art; Education; Theater of the oppressed.
