摘要：The article socializes part of a research on the theatrical plays written and rehearsed by the Theatrical Group of CERA (in Portuguese, Grupo Teatral do Cera), which worked for twenty years at a technical school called Center for Rural Education of Aquidauana (CERA, in the Portuguese acronym), located in the municipality of Aquidauana, state of Mato Grosso do Sul. The study used some plays’ scripts, as well as brochures, newspapers and testimonials. A dialog with Foucaltian studies was established so that we could analyze and discuss the selected material. Following this perspective, this material’s hierarchical structure was deconstructed, and it was considered an integrating part of the reality and of the subjects, written in what could be called the “device for schooling”. The theatrical production was considered as one among different discourses that intersected in the programs of the school institution in question to train individuals capable of acting as technicians. However, and unlike the other discursive practices played/created in the school, to the theatrical activity were put the tasks of building audiences for the theater and of (re)inventing the identity of the people from the south of Mato Grosso, after the division of the state of Mato Grosso in the late 1970s. Functioning as a Theatrical Group in the period of 1978 to 1997, nineteen plays were produced and staged, one per year. The author places, on a variety of historical, social and cultural events, a beam of light, taking them as a foundational material for the identity to be built. Surrounded by the studies, the work and the isolation of the school, this collective exercise that was the theatrical experience tried to contributed to the creation of an identity and it may have affected the young people in their “ordinary lives”. .
