Literatura dramática de caráter político no Brasil atual: "O mercado do gozo" e "Apocalipse 1.11"

Abstract

This work aims to study the relationship between aesthetics and politics in the texts of dramatic plays "Apocalipse 1:11" (2000), of Teatro da Vertigem, with text signed by Fernando Bonassi, and "O Mercado do Gozo" (2003), of Companhia do Latão, with text signed by Sergio de Carvalho, Márcio Marciano, and Helena Albergaria. This is a selection minimal but significant of the political theater in Brazil today, about which it is executed an analysis and theoretical reflection and criticism. We work with the idea that there is not only one way to produce a political theater, especially in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century, when the great utopias and ideologies opposed to capitalism seem unattainable, and that artists seek for new ways in contrast to this system, or ways for creating different spaces of subjectivity.
