To Those Who Will Come After Us

The text is a form of rendering a final balance on the “Meetings on Third Theatre and Theatre Anthropology - a tribute to Eugenio Barba: 85 years of life, 60 years of theater and 34 years of meetings in Brazil”, written by its organizers. It represents a testimony about a generation of Brazilian artists who commenced their artistic journey in theatre during the 1980s, under the influence of the Third Theater movement, an inflection of Group Theatre, stemming from their contact with Odin Teatret and other European theater groups, such as Teatro tascabile di Bergamo, Teatro Potlach and Centro per la Sperimentazione per la Ricerca Teatrale di Pontedera.
