Theatre and education: the immersion in the text to the emergence of subjectivities in subtexts

Abstract

This paper presents a reflection on readers’/authors’ education through theatrical performance. In addition to that, framed on experience reports written by students from elementary school, I also discuss curriculum practices. Within this reflection process, I focus on some motivations that trigger affectivity in the theater due to the experience lived with the text and subtext provided by theatrical practice. Therefore, I regard the theater as an effective tool for an ethical and integral education.
