Resumo

A companhia de teatro Brokentalkers, criada pela primeira vez em 2001, pode ser descrita como uma organização destemida e inovadora que, desde o início, tentou equilibrar as desigualdades prevalecentes na sociedade irlandesa. É composto por Feidhlim Cannon e Gary Keegan, que descrevem o seu espírito de conceber performances ao vivo originais e acessíveis e explorar novas formas que desafiam as ideologias tradicionais do teatro baseado em texto. Eles usam o meio pós-dramático para transmitir a urgência de uma situação particular e, em linha com isso, suas performances podem muitas vezes incluir pastelão, ação física violenta, culturas pop, quebra de ilusão e explosões histéricas dos atores. Uma de suas apresentações mais recentes, Woman Undone, que estreou em 2018, é uma impactante reimaginação e reconstrução de um aspecto da vida da cantora de blues Mary Coughlan. Este ensaio investiga o uso de estratégias dramatúrgicas como musicalidade, movimento corporal e elenco de gênero cruzado na performance, a fim de destacar a situação daqueles que foram abusados na Irlanda. O microcosmo da experiência de uma mulher conhecida é trazido para o macrocosmo da sociedade para educar e esclarecer todas as mulheres.
