Pina Bausch e Bertolt Brecht: a relação entre transformação e repetição de Bausch com gestus social de Brecht

Abstract

Abstract: This work aims to reflect on the body that communicates, based on the principles and pedagogical practices of the director, poet and playwright Bertolt Brecht and German choreographer and director Pina Bausch, responsible for the Wuppertal Tanztheater company since 1973. It is a brief critical analysis of the composition of the social gesture developed and conceptualized by Brecht and used by Bausch in his dance theater. Therefore, the writing of the text is presented in three moments. First, I briefly explain what Brecht's epic theater is and the concept of social gesture. Next, I present a brief history of how Bausch's dance theater developed. And finally, I show the approaches between Brecht and Bausch, analyzing two works, one produced by Bausch and the other produced by Brecht.
