How did Brazilian theatre survive under the military dictatorship
of 1964-1985? How did it change once the regime was over? This
collection of new essays is the first to cover Brazilian theatre
during this period. Brazilian scholars and artists discuss the
history of a theatre community that not only resisted the regime
but reinvented itself and continued to develop more sophisticated
forms of expression even in the face of competition from television
and other media. The contributors recount the struggle to stage
meaningful plays at a time when some artists and intellectuals were
exiled, others imprisoned, tortured or killed. With the return of
democracy other important issues arose: how to ensure space for
different practices and for regional theatre, and how to continue
producing international plays that could be meaningful for a
Brazilian audience.
