“E se Brecht fosse negro”?: teatro épico e contemporaneidade

Abstract

This course conclusion work is the result of the research project, with a CNPq grant, entitled: “Black Brecht: what if Brecht were black?” Epic Theater and Contemporary. Which analyzes, a priori, the epic resources in the works Black Brecht (2020) by Dione Carlos, and the Judgment of Luculus (1938-1939) by Bertolt Brecht. The main objective of this work is to analyze the presence of Epic Theater in contemporary times, reviewing the procedures addressed by Brecht in Epic Theater, Dialectic and Didactic Play, and their applicability in Theater teaching. Through theoretical research, with a qualitative approach, through bibliographic methodology, adopting an interpretative-hermeneutic perspective, and, in a second moment, with the results achieved, the applicability of practical methods was carried out via approaches in teaching Theater. The works of Ingrid Koudela Brecht in Post-Modernity (2012), Brecht: One learning game (2010) and Text and e Game (2010) are analyzed to create a practice within the approaches to teaching Theater (Didactic Play, which follows Dialectical Epic Theatre; and Text and Game). What is intended is to prove the presence of Epic Theater in contemporary times and its immediate effects: the sharing of theatrical practice, aesthetically and dialectically felt, thought and applied in formal and non-formal education; which demonstrates the existence of an aesthetic education, since the faculty of feeling (sensitivity) and the faculty of think (reason) are considered.
