On tiptoe Ponta Grossa

This paper aims to understand if the memory built in order to produce economic and symbolic value, for the ballet show "Encantos destes Campos" in 2004, from La Ballerina Ballet Academy in the city of Ponta Grossa (PR), contributed to the construction and/or strengthening of local identity of the dancers, in the perspective that it had an approach referring to local history. Through the discussion of concepts such as memory, culture, cultural heritage, identity and the cultural panorama of the city where it was produced, to base the understanding of the show on the perspective of cultural production, it was possible to analyze this, in its production process and in the presentations, as well as produce a questionnaire that was applied online via the Google Docs Form tool to some cast members.
