Treze: o palco da cultura – um estudo de caso sobre a lei de incentivo à cultura de Santa Maria e seu reflexo no cenário teatral da cidade

Abstract

Laws of Incentive to Culture through tax incentive policy, and the Rouanet Law as well, have received much attention from researchers dedicated to public culture policies. However, they still lack studies on how these devices reach municipalities located within the states outside the cultural axis, historically established in capital cities. The general objective of this research is to understand the functioning of n° 4,645/03 law, Santa Maria Incentive to culture (LIC-SM) and its importance for the theatrical scenerio maintenance of the municipality. For this purpose, the project Associação dos Amigos do Teatro Treze de Maio - Treze: O Palco da Cultura is this research object, an initiative that aims to occupy one of the main playhouse in the city. To evaluate the study object we sought to relate the development of the project with the National, State and City Plans of Culture, as these establish actions and strategies to be developed in the Culture Field. From this study about the municipal conjuncture of cultural policies aimed at the theater, the necessity to know and discuss theatrical production means was confirmed.
