The research was carried out in several stages and was supported by the UEA, through academic productivity bonuses for the research projects “Between the experimental theater of the Negro and Casa Grande e Senzala: the trajectory of Léa Garcia in the dialogues between the stage and audience (1952-1971)”, between 2016 and 2018; and the project “Racial and gender relations on the screens of Brazilian cinema: the trajectory of Léa Garcia between Orfeu do Carnaval and Forte (1957-1973)”, between 2019 and 2021.
