Looking for a framework for "A look at CETA"

Abstract

This work aims to investigate and reflect on the foundation and history of the early days of existence of an amateur theater group: CETA, trying to bridge the gap with my own work in its boin and the meaning of it. This study is based on the consultation of various material (brochures, posters, programs, newspaper news) and, above all, the memories of some founders and historical associates, embodied in recorded interviews. It was recreated performatively, at CETA, and in a single show, some of the content of the audio conversations. It was intended to combine artistic creation with academic research of historiographical methodology, based on archive research and oral history. We sought to discover the importance of theater for the young people of this time, the technical and human training provided by the group to the associates and also the existing forms of censorship and their overcoming. This study is also intended to be a contribution to the construction of a story about CETA trying to remove from the invisibility the memory of this institution in an artistic way.
