Abstract

Despite the relevance of foreign presence for theatrical activity in Brazil in the 19th century, there are still few studies aimed at analysing it based on a thorough assessment of sources that reveal its material aspects. Significant and symptomatic, the lack of studies is partly explained by obstacles to the preservation of key documents to reconstitute the practice of transatlantic artistic transit in the 19th century. Drawing upon this statement, this article deals with Sarah Bernhardt’s tours and the exhibition of the play Cleopatra in Brazil, in 1893, with the objective of discussing the methodological approach used in the study of artistic trips, concerning the use of sources, and seeking to observe some historiographical considerations stemming from it.
