Fissures of the real: deviations from mimesis in contemporary Brazilian dramaturgy

Abstract

From the approach of four theatrical pieces – Apocalipse 1,11 (Teatro da Vertigem), Agreste and Projeto Body Art (by Newton Moreno), and Amores surdos (by Grace Passô) –, we intend to recognize propositions of insertion of deviant elements of the real or the referential of representation in contemporary theater. In this sense, the works deal, each with a particular poetics, with strange elements that mark deviations of behavior, thus causing a displacement as to the composition of the theatrical mimesis, and approach the perceptions of social reality in its multiple marginalizations and forms of reading. --- DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2018n47a1171
