Abstract

In the course of the last three years, the Group Galpão invested in spectacles whose languages and themes inquire the imaginary fixed through-out its 30 year history. Once the latest piece, The Giants of the Mountain, represents a theater company whose poetic has no place or public in an hostile world, it joins a movement of self-exam-ination of their own theater making whose start-ing point can be considered the project Journey to Chekhov. In this context, this article focuses on the critical analysis of “Uncle Vanya – To those who come after us” (2011), as the first Galpão’s work to take the risk of self-questioning, moving from a supposed comfort zone. Affected by questions of identity caused by this movement of change and by discussions about the future expressed in Chekhov’s pieces, Galpão’s actors experienced a psychological realism unprecedented in its reper-toire and, consequently, a construction of charac-ters exploring acting resources which they were not familiarized and, thus, opening uncharted paths within their own history.
