Anthropophagic-Perspectivistic Poetics for a Re-Vision of the Brazilian Theater: the scene of origin

Abstract

This text presents traces of construction of a Poetics, whose purpose is to develop a Re-Vision of the Brazilian Theater in five key moments. To do so, it is sought to establish a scene of origin, outlined from the encounter – impregnated with attraction and repulsion – that takes place in Colonial Brazil, from the 16th Century, between Amerindian and European civilizations. Two metaphysics and forms of expression thus form the intensive and pantheatrical basis of a Poetics that projects a notion of Brazilian theater in a constant state of struggles of perspectives, symbolized, in its origins, by two anthropophagic interdevouring mouths: the mercantilist Christian eucharist and the Amerindian cosmopolitics.
