| Abstract | |
This thesis aims to examine, according to five main thrusts, the static dramas of Fernando Pessoa, whose corpus consists of a significant number of unfinished or sketched plays, except for The Sailor (1915). Starting from the critical-theoretical revision of the symbolist imaginary and the theatrical work of Maurice Maeterlinck, with which the theater of the Portuguese author is systematically associated, this work strives to broaden the spectrum of our approach towards the multiple tradition of modern and contemporary drama, in the terms in which it is outlined by scholars whose research is associated with that of Jean-Pierre Sarrazac - among which Joseph Danan, Mireille Losco-Lena, Alexandra Moreira da Silva, Jean-Pierre Ryngaert, and Arnaud Rykner stand out. Once the task of identifying and analyzing the categories common to this set of plays has been completed, a dialectical analysis is carried out in order to characterize the most well-known part of the theater composed by Pessoa, by comparing such plays with the dramatic works of some of the central authors of the genre during the transition period between the 19th and 20th centuries. At the European level, this study takes into consideration names like Henrik Ibsen, Gerhart Hauptmann, August Strindberg, and Luigi Pirandello, while, in the context of Portuguese dramaturgy, the theater of Pessoa is repositioned in the light of plays by Raul Brandão, D. João da Câmara, Eugénio de Castro, Branquinho da Fonseca, Almada Negreiros, and António Patrício, among other writers. Finally, a suggestion is made for a reexamination of the scenic appeal of the static dramas of Pessoa by discussing the theatrical ideas and practices of Aurélien Lugné-Poe, Edward Gordon Craig, and Claude Régy, mainly.
