Modern Brazilian Theatre Dramaturgy & Performance: Nelson Rodrigues
THEA 315 SP

"THEA-315: Modern Brazilian Theatre Dramaturgy and Performance: Nelson Rodrigues" will focus on the work of this Portuguese-speaking playwright, whose plays are representative of Brazil's urban culture and instrumental in the formation of Brazilian theatre's avant-garde. Rodrigues' dramatic ouvre-commonly divided in Carioca tragedies, mythic and psychological plays-will be explored in this course from both dramaturgical and performance standpoints. Thus, as the course progresses students will merg e theory and practice, departing from the current knowledge of Rodrigues' theatre to their own interpretative concept of this author's work.
