The Laboratory of the Dramaturge and Studies on Theatrical Genetics: experiments

Abstract

This study is situated in the field of Theatrical Genetics and deals with the presence of the dramaturge in action. It assesses the relevance and uniqueness of the process of textual migration toward the theatrical scene caused by the combined exercises of translation and dramaturgy developed between the years 1985 and 1991 by Companhia de Encenação Teatral from the city of Rio de Janeiro. It updates and comments on accumulated experiences in the creation of a number of spectacles as a result of a long and continuous creative process. Theoretically, therefore, this text aims to understand Theatrical Genetics through the eyes of the dramaturge, the theatre historian.
