Análise teórica do texto teatral Água e Azeite

Abstract

This paper analyzes the play Água e Azeite by Gilton Lobo, using Renata Pallottini's concepts of dramaturgy, especially those presented in her works Introdução à Dramaturgia, O que é dramaturgia and Dramaturgia: Construção do Personagem. The research seeks to apply Pallottini's textual analysis model, exploring elements such as conflict, dramatic action and character construction. The play, adapted from a short story of the same name, portrays Eugenia's wake, revealing family tensions and conflicts between the characters, especially between Armando and his motherin-law. The analysis highlights the dramatic structure, internal and external conflicts, and the effectiveness of the characterization of the characters, in addition to addressing themes such as social hypocrisy and human contradictions. The study also contextualizes Pallottini's career and her contribution to Brazilian theater, emphasizing her theoretical approach. The play, classified as a drama with elements of magical realism, combines humor and tragedy to criticize social conventions and explore emotional complexity. The conclusion reinforces the importance of conceptual analysis for theatrical teaching, demonstrating how Pallottini's theory illuminates scenic practice.
