Padra ocorpo: a cena como dispositivo de empoderamento e emancipação feminina

Abstract

This undergraduate thesis focuses on a reflective account of the theatrical experiment PADRA OCORPO, which took place on September 5th and 6th, 2023." The aim of this study is to establish a connection between personal experiences and the discussions surrounding the representation of the female body in the theatrical context. In this process, traditional standards are challenged, and the acceptance of the diversity of bodies is promoted, drawing on feminist theories, gender studies, and research related to the representation of the female body on the stage. This contributes to enriching our understanding of the potential of the theatrical stage as a powerful tool for empowerment. This study represents an invitation for other women to explore their own narratives, their bodies, and their artistic potential, in the pursuit of a more equal society where all voices are heard, and all bodies are respected in their entirety.
