This study aims to investigate some ways of being by young people from the theatrical art, social projects, and its impact on the formation of the concept of citizenship. Particularly, the work will be supported in the analyses developed from observations of the assembly of the teatrical piece Urucubaca, formed by young members of the Group Theater Trupe of Cultural Afro Reggae (GCAR), whose activities are carried out in the Parque Proletário, Vigário Geral, Rio de Janeiro state. Based on author Michel Certeau and Mikhail Bakhtin, the research, whose duration was 7 (seven) months, had methodological use of two tools: a interview and diary of field. The first was performed with 7 (seven) members of the group, 6 (six) youths and one (1) director. During the journey some notes and abservations had been made about the activities of the group of Trupe of Theater whose worked in favour of the constitution of that piece. The presence and involvement of young people in this project in particular ended by creating a space in which they construct for them all modes of identity through which they not only firmate their belonging to that group, but also projected them as authors of their own lives.
