The Bandits and Estrela Brazyleira a Vagar - Cacilda!!!

The moments of rapprochement and distancing that arise on some of the artistic frontiers, specifically between theatre and cinema, are the starting point for this book, whose main theme is cinematographic projections, in film or video, inserted into theatre shows. From the different national and international groups that use these procedures, we present a history of audiovisual projections on the world theatre scene and on the Brazilian scene. Through a selection of actions carried out by the Teatro Oficina group, two plays directed by José Celso Martinez Correa [Zé Celso] are exemplified: Os Bandidos (2008) and Estrela Brazyleira a Vagar - Cacilda! (2009 e 2010). When we searched the Teatro Oficina Uzyna Uzona for examples of theatre works that use audiovisual projections to create sets, lighting and narratives in Brazilian theatre, we found many references to contemporaneity and the convergence of media, with expanded cinema, virtual scenery, subtitling, videomapping, graphics, vjing and live cinema being some of the scenic resources used in these works.
