Summary: This study aims to analyze the possibilities and challenges of the pedagogical use of theater in a rural school, with a view to enabling students to dialogue with their social context(s) for the development of a questioning glance at their local reality. As a justification, it is pointed out the fact that the teaching of Art ends up, many times, becoming paralyzed by the prescribed contents, mainly in relation to the standardized tests, and the theatrical art, although obligatory for being included in the official curriculum, ends up, in general, being explored superficially and with themes that do not dialogue with the students´ experience. As a theoretical framework, the research is based on Bakhtin´s writings (1997, 2014a, 2014b, 2018) regarding to language; by Arroyo, Caldart and Molina (2011) with regard to Rural Education; Freire (2002) with regard to education and pedagogical practices; and Boal (1982, 2012) and Reverbel (1979, 1993, 1997) with regard to Theater specifically. It also emphasizes the studies by Morin (2003) and Fazenda (2006), regarding to the possibility of an inter and transdisciplinary approach. This is a qualitative research, divided into two phases, the first, based on Gil (2002), being configured as the Documental Consultation and the second, based on Brandão and Streck (2006), being the Participant Research. In order to producing data, filming, photographs and semi-structured interviews were used, as well as analysis of pedagogical plans. Understanding that the researcher is not neutral, being also a constituent part of his study, this research also adopts Bakhtin (2010) as a methodological reference for the analysis of the data produced. In the course of the research, theatrical exercises, field research, textual productions and theatrical plays were developed with the students, favoring the dialogue with their reality. The videos produced resulted in a documentary through which the entire discursive and constructive process developed with the students was presented, reverberating in the educational product of this work. As a result, the research points to the importance of pedagogical work with Art Theater at school, for its potentiality to enable provocative and reflective looks in a broader dimension. Thus, the theatrical approach allows the problematization of social, political and ideological aspects that pervade the school reality, advancing beyond its immediate surroundings.
