Abstract

This paper chiefly aims to scrutinize the aesthetic and methodological procedures that, in the performance Ombela, byO Poste Soluções Luminosas, a group from Pernambuco, Brazil, contributed to convey the black-African ancestry on stage. Considering that the group researches the contributions of Mikhail Chekhov and Eugenio Barba to the realization of a physical theater, we will take the two authors as theoretical references for our research, in order to understand to what extent the physical theater is, in Ombela, an effective theoretical-methodological resource for the construction of a scene of black-African matrix. This research was based on notes written during every watched performance, in addition to interviews with the group.
