Recepção infantil da obra teatral

Abstract

The article has a description and the analysis of the results of a research project on child reception of theater plays. Based on the results reached, the author was able to come to conclusions on the distancing and interaction of the child public with the work, which, in its complexity, is seen as a situation in which, at every moment, language, sound, visual, gesture and plastic stimuli are produced (each belonging to a distinct code system), that cause sensorial pleasure. Based on drawings made by the research subjects, the author also concluded there is strong involvement and perceptive mobilizing by the children, including among the lower age groups.
