Bubuiologia: pensando dibubuísmo como estética e metodologia em uma prática teatral

Abstract

This work has, as its main goal, the analysis of the research process that generated the play “Ó”, based on the drama Oxygen (Кислород), from Ivan Vyrypaev (1974 -) and on the homonymous film. Through the process, the Amazonian concept of dibubuism, crafted by João de Jesus Paes Loureiro, is expanded, modified and used as theatre methodology and aesthetical pillar, permeating dramaturgical decisions, acting routes, soundtrack choices, stage lighting decisions and all the tonus of the play’s directing. Crossed by such dibubuism, rehearsals routines, production challenges, staging strategies and aesthetical options are described and exposed as tools for the understanding, not only of the Russian drama, but also as how the concept of dibubuism could be used beyond the scene, as an academical research methodology. It is ambitioned that its qualities might be understood, respecting all the specificities inherent to the bubuia, considering its virtues as well as its flaws, trying to imagine a situation where the researcher-artist could be better served by a dibubuist approach.
