Ator-contador

Carroça é Nossa (The Cartwheel is Ours), A Besta Fera (The Stupid Beast), and As Três Fiandeiras (The Three Spinners).The Xama Teatro Group, established in the city of São Luís, in the State of Maranhão, develops its presentations having the art of narrating as its starting point.In its artistic productions, the character of the actorstoryteller stands out: he is the one that sings, tells stories and talks, switching from the persona to the narrator, from the first to the third person.The actor-storyteller builds up his steps as from the path of rapsodos and griots, from the epic subject, from the brincantes (players), and from the anonym narrators.With his foot planted in memory, tradition and orality, he speaks of himself and also speaks of others, combining both real and fictional stories.In order to manifest the character of the actor-storyteller, some settings are necessary.Among them: the use of a voice that evokes missing elements; the neutral thought that produces the spacing between speech and action; the notion of the observer being the public listener; the use of a direct speech to the public; the authorial creation of works with oral vocation texts; the writing of a hybrid dramaturgy that mixes the epic, lyric and dramatic modes; the insertion of the playwright-storyteller in the creation process, in a conjugated way with actors-storytellers
