Abstract

Oduvaldo Vianna Filho is recognized as one of Brazil's most significant playwrights of the sixties and seventies. In his work he tried to portray the national political landscape, reflecting about some subjects ,like the American imperialism, the role of militancy, the reality of the laborer and peasant, the university, finally, it shows that, despite of being classified as "dated" it still generates controversy. Therefore, this dissertation brought to deep studies on the work of "Vianinha", having as its central focus the analysis of the following plays : "A mais valia vai acabar ", "Seu Edgar";" Brazil versão brasileira";" O Auto dos 99%", " Quatro quadras de terra" and " Os Azeredos e mais Benivedes", produced by the playwright in the period he was linked to the Center for Popular Culture (CPC) of the National Students Union (UNE). The analyzes were performed based on the works of some theorists who have exercised influence on the work of Vianinha such as Bertolt Brecht, Erwin Piscator among others. Therefore, concepts of epic theater were used , musical theater and agitprop, essential for understanding the plays. The result of this paper demonstrates that the dramatic works in question have not only social,historical or political value, but it has more: artistic value. (AU)
