Protesto E Enfrentamento Em Pleno AI-5: Reconstituição Do Primeiro Espetáculo De Teatro-Jornal No Brasil

This article discusses the political implications of the "Teatro-Jornal" modality in Brazil through the reconstruction of the play Teatro-Jornal: First Edition (1970), directed by Augusto Boal. To that end, it is essential to understand the political relevance of Boal’s work, as well as his role in the emergence and strengthening of politically engaged and mobilizing theatrical practices in Brazil, such as Teatro-Jornal. This practice was crucial as a form of resistance, especially during the Brazilian military dictatorship. Thus, this study explores the political and historical importance of the Teatro-Jornal modality, inaugurated in Brazil in 1970, and reconstructs scenes from the play, highlighting its strong resistance, reflected both in the multiplication of resistance cells against the dictatorship and in the promotion of discussions about the realities of the time.
