This research derived the construction of a thesis divided into four parts or four acts. At first, the composition of the archive on theater groups led me to the cartographic method and, possibly, to the ethnographic one. To begin the studies, it was necessary to know and write about the panorama of Amapá's theater, with the purpose of casting a critical and sociopolitical-cultural eye on the theater scenarios in Amapá. I observed that there was a huge amount of material about theater in general, but about Amapá theater groups there were none or few references. I started with bibliographic references: Elderson, MELO. Teatro de Grupo: Trajetória e prática do teatro acriano - 1970 a 2010. 2006. Samantha Agustin, COHEN. Group Theater: Trajectory and relations. Impressions of a visitor, 2010. A specific author is constantly used by any research, regarding the Amapaense theatrical activities, the professor-researcher, Romualdo Palhano, from the Federal University of Amapá. This author served as the main bibliographic support for a research that, until then, was in its twilight stage, because, although I knew that there were theatrical works in the State of Amapá, I did not know about them. Thus, I decided to change the main focus of the work and dedicate myself to an object: the theater groups in Amapá. In other words, the research stopped being exclusively bibliographical and became in loco. Cartography is a science that, traditionally, refers to the ability to elaborate maps, charts and other forms to represent and describe, in detail, or express objects, physical and socioeconomic phenomena. It is also a demarcation, or territorialization; a determination of spaces for the purpose of orientation and knowledge about these same spatial portions. Supported by these characteristics, I let the research follow its process, exploring each part that stood out, its unfoldings, however, taking care not to lose sight of the main objective: to register, to quantify, to qualify, when necessary, without forgetting its libertarian character. I realized that my research also had an ethnographic character. Ethnography, after all, is a method of the social sciences, but not only, especially anthropology, in which the main focus is a study of the cultures and the behavior of certain social groups. In the first act, I make a brief historical overview of the theatrical activities developed in the State of Amapá. I go through a more or less faithful chronology of selected images that tell how the theater, be it with the first building or in the first theatrical activities, has been appreciated, experienced, constituted in the State. In the second act, I tread the shaky ground, so to speak, of the public policies of incentive to the performing arts. Of all the acts, this is the one to which I dedicated special care, for touching on conflicting issues, for dialoguing with themes dear to public governmental and nongovernmental institutions, and for unveiling visible but silent situations, silenced by a convenient oppression. The third act is dedicated to the theatrical spaces or the places of theater. The city of Macapá has few institutional spaces, constituted as places for theater, which leads many theater groups to seek alternatives for the development of their activities. I emphasize, with this evidence, that not only places of theater are necessarily theatrical spaces. Other territories, said here to be "alternative," have emerged. The fourth act, I consider the soul of the research project. It is in it that I dedicate and concentrate my efforts to build a kind of narrative that expresses all the anxieties, joys, and struggles of the theater groups to make art, to make themselves exist, in a place where artistic valorization is so incipient. Each conversation, each description of the groups and their activities, was the unveiling of a passionate profile. Regardless of the farces and disguises, the dissonant speeches, the masks and make-up, I sought to describe and reverberate voices that scream, cry, lament, beg to be heard, but also laugh and bring and feel happiness.
