LUCULUS BRASILIS AND THE SILENT CATASTROPHE OF A CIVILIZATION PROCESS

Abstract

The Dione Carlos’ dramatic text Black Brecht: e se Brecht fosse negro? (2020) is linked to the way brazilian Black Theater has developed toward a self-consciemse that reorder social and political forces. This text is related to a double tradition: first, the canonic Brecht’s play The Luculus judment, and second a brazilian traditional civilizatory moral. From the fusiono of theses two references, she uses a questioner structure to resignify the past, creating in her dramaturgy a space where voices, silenced by the (state-owned, economic, social, physical) power controls the diretion of a society. As a resoult this dramatic text creates na existence that moves to a reorganization of the social, politic, cultural and histotical relations in a commum space, in a denser way than a simple invertion of the traditional positions.
