II mostra artística libras encena: produção teatral da lenda ‘a moça do táxi’

Abstract This work emerged from discussions in the «Libras VII» course, part of the Letters in Libras and Portuguese as a Second Language for the Deaf (L2) program at the Federal University of Pará (UFPA). The problem addressed in this study is the barriers to accessibility that deaf individuals face in cultural events in Belém, the capital of the state of Pará. Thus, this research aimed to produce a theatrical exposition in Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) about the Paraense legend «A Moça do Táxi», intending to provide accessibility for deaf individuals, as it will be presented to a predominantly deaf audience. The methodology comprised eight stages: 1) Beginning of the course; 2) Reading of bibliographies; 3) Preparation for the play and team division; 4) Discussions and choice of theme; 5) Creation of the synopsis; 6) Scriptwriting; 7) Testing; 8) Event promotion on social media; 9) Presentation of the play at the Juridical Sciences auditorium (ICJ), on the Professional Campus of the Federal University of Pará.. The results indicate that the theatrical development process has allowed for real inclusion, as the creation, adaptation, contextualization, and representation of artistic works have delighted the deaf community and promoted knowledge of Amazonian legends, such as «A Moça do Táxi».
