ABSTRACT
This text conjugates the rapprochement between the theatricality of Eastern manifestations and the practice of Usina do Trabalho do Ator (UTA) Research Group. We establish links between the theory of reception proposed by Richard Schechner based on rasic theatre and the theatricality of several UTA spectacles. We also examine the way in which the group used cannibalistic procedures in four stagings as well as the role of the audience in their scenic compositions.
