Abstract

This work explores the relationship between Brazilian theatre and neoliberal ideology. To this end, the text makes a brief summary of some modes of production, theatrical circuits and cultural policies that have been active in the city of Rio de Janeiro since the end of the military dictatorship until the recent rise of neo-fascism. The hypothesis to be discussed is that, during this period, the theatrical environment has an important role in the construction of its own crisis, when it assumes for itself some principles and practices of neoliberalism.
