UMA PROPOSTA PRELIMINAR DE ORGANIZAÇÃO DOS DOCUMENTOS ARQUIVÍSTICOS AUDIOVISUAIS DO CIRCO VOADOR

Abstract

Circo Voador, located in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) downtown, is nationally recognized as an important cultural and artistic stronghold, stage for musical attractions of the most diverse genres and launching platform for new artists, for 40 years. The objective of the research, reported in this article, is to propose a new organization of the Circo's audiovisual archive, with about 30 thousand hours of musical events, among others, recorded and accumulated, over the years, through the understanding and survey of the organization and the elaboration of an intellectual representation of such an organization, that is, of a classification scheme that improves access to these documents. This is an applied, exploratory and bibliographic research, started in 2019 and interrupted, in the following year, with the suspension of face-to-face activities for health reasons. As a brand strategy alongside the public, a TV series, edited with the historical audiovisual material, was shown on the on-line video channel of Circo Voador. The interviews with managers linked to the collection, based on the methodology of Oral History, carried out by this research, were edited with the audiovisual records of historical shows. A pilot classification scheme is being completed for further performance evaluations.
