Grupo Gulbenkian de Bailado : a cenografia e figurinos como intervenção plástica na dança em Portugal

The present dissertation analyses the scenarios and costumes of the ballets designed by the choreographer and artistic director of the Gulbenkian Ballet Group, Milko Sparemblek. The cross between the dimension of dance and the visual arts is a new approach to the intervention of Sparemblek in the production of portuguese dance in the seventies. From the choreographic aesthetic of Sparemblek, a bridge is made with a plastic component inherent to the scenography and figures of his creations. Simultaneously, explore and recognize as diverse possibilities of creation of the scenic space, according to an analysis of the historical evolution of scenography and the protagonists. The dialogues that occur between the scene and the costumes are revealed to conceive a balanced theatrical space and as implications or limitations that make a commentary to the artist who idealizes it. The portuguese artists who collaborated with the Gulbenkian Ballet Group are identified, as well as the characteristic elements of their works and their contribution in scenography and respected costumes of the works under analysis.
