Theatrecapes – Expectations before the Conference: Fernando Mencarelli

Only a few hours until the start of our conference Theatrescapes – Global Media and Translocal Publics 1850-1950 – time to post our last video! As in the previous cases, we were interested in why our guests chose to attend our conference. Fernando Antonio Mencarelli’s (Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil) current research project centers on musical theatre in 19th century Rio de Janeiro. He hopes that at the Theatrescapes conference he will be able to connect with researchers from the field of global theatre history who work in a similar area of research.

Theatrescapes – Expectations before the Conference: Francisco Leocádio

Tomorrow our conference will start – we’re already looking forward to welcome our speakers in person. But even before that, we wanted to know why our guests chose to attend Theatrescapes – Global Media and Translocal Publics 1850-1950. Francisco Leocádio’s paper (Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro) centers on the large modernization project which Rio de Janeiro, then Brazíl’s federal capital’ underwent in the early 20th century and its connection to theatre. He hopes the conference will be a forum to exchange experiences and get to know other researchers interested in similar topics.
