This reflection article arose from the research-creation process "Theater and performance as a tool to investigate possibilities of expression with young people at risk", formulated by the Corporación Teatral Ecuatoriana Tragaluz and carried out in September 2018, in Guayaquil (Ecuador), with 12 young people from the Replica 28 de Mayo school, located in the Monte Sinaí sector. The staging, as a result of this process, became an echo of the voices of those young people, who through their performative actions and autobiographies managed to express a feeling about themselves, about their environment, in interpellation with their mothers and parents. The Reflejos play was presented at the Museo Antropológico y de Arte Contemporáneo (MAAC). With this, an action of presence of those who inhabit invasion neighborhoods was achieved, so that it was not only an aesthetic intervention, but also a political one, which made possible the tension between the periphery and the center. The article, through a review of the two stages of the process (here it will be called the creation laboratory), offers a look at how the body and the image became a resistance action. Thus, the staging - as such - becomes an anecdote about the ethical and aesthetic meaning of each proposal that shaped the work.

Keywords : autobiography; young; performance; reflexes.
