A dramaturgia do teatro experimental do negro (TEN) e do teatro profissional do negro (TEPRON): corpo e identidades

Abstract

This work aims to identify the presence of the body and identities in the dramaturgy of both Teatro Experimental do Negro (TEN), and Teatro Profissional do Negro (TEPRON), by reading two plays of the TEN: Além do Rio by Agostinho Olavo and Auto da Noiva by Rosário Fusco; and two plays of the TEPRON: Fala pra eles, Elisabete and Tuti, both written by Ubirajara Fidalgo. This is the last part of this thesis that counts on the support of several researchers, such as Eduardo de Assis Duarte, Inaicyra dos Santos, Muniz Sodré and others. Besides that, there will be a general approach of the concept of black theatre from the founders of the mentioned groups: Abdias Nascimento and Ubirajara Fidalgo; this one, in particular, the bearer of a not yet explored patrimony, unknown, therefore, original. It will be contextualized the participation of the black people in the Brazilian Theatre, their precursors, their main influences and works made by their companies, making a cross-checking. Different sources of information have been used: written and electronic medias, patrimonies and interviews.
