Abstract

In the 1970's, front of military repression and the collapse of the political project of the traditional left, playwrights like Gianfrancesco Guarnieri, Vianinha, Paulo Pontes e João das Neves conducted a review in their writings in order to retake the tradition of an engaged drama capable to think about the crisis of the Brazilian society. Denying the revolutionary idealism of earlier years, sought a new dialectical and fictional exercise able to maintain ideological commitment with national-popular and able to use the dramatic emotion as a way for the political awareness of spectators.
