This report is a research activity developed in a Long Term Care Institutions for Elderly (ILPI). This master's research sought to bring the narratives about life before and during the institutionalization eight residents, four men and four women, aged between 66 and 89 years, residents of two to seven years in ILPI. Based on the theoretical framework of psychoanalysis and the Artaud’s theory theater it was possible to think of the existence of the point of view of staging, whose word is central to existence. Finally, it is concluded that the experience with the fabric of the dissertation, which is summarized here, brings the importance of being subject when inserted into institutionalization processes. There are possibilities. There are ways. There is one construction work being done and that allow even within strict rules and collectivized the subject can be made subject. One of those ways is to give voice and autonomy to tell your story the way they want, or believed to be. Another is a transformation of ILPI is given as for the construction of an open place to possibilities, the choices, though limited, by listening. People who are there need to feel people. They need voice and ears that listen. They need representation means. They need audience.
