Abstract

This article approaches two characters interpreted by the actor Edgard Gurgel Aranha, who died in 1990, in two plays released in 1967, O rei da vela and A navalha na carne. From interviews with Edgard himself and the actor Sérgio Mamberti, and from archives such as newspapers and reviews of that time, we draw a panorama of the evolution of the homosexual character and analyze the current moment, considering emblematic and important works for the national theater scenario.

Keywords: Brazilian Theater, Homosexuality, History of Brazilian Theater.
