Para um teatro da militância cívica : sátira, desmistificação e crise ideológica das instituições político-religiosas nas peças A pécora de Natália Correia e Quem move as árvores de Fiama H. P. Brandão

Abstract

The purpose of this article consists on an approach of Natália Correia's dramatic text A Pécora (1983) and Fiama's H. P. Brandão Quem move as árvores (1979). It is intended to analyze the contribution of the authors in view of dramatic production of the second half of the twentieth century, in Portugal, namely the exploration of dramatic text as a vehicle for criticism and denunciation of oppressive regimes. In the light of a conception of 'theater of militancy', following Brecht's ideas, this study discusses the relationship between political and religious power and the ideological crisis of the institutions mentioned in the plays.
