RESUMO

This essay seeks to explore dance within Rio de Janeiros Revue entertainment theater, in order to analyze the influences of imagination of modernity in ballet dances, as well as to identify some genres and dance techniques incorporated into the production of the Revue scene, taking into consideration the body of dance, especially the chorus-dance girls (the so-called showgirls) and the ruptures represented by modernity in relation to the dance of that period. To this end, the Cultural History method is relied upon as a guide, with existing studies on this theatrical genre serving as methodological derivation. The analysis of photographs from scenes of the shows is also employed, aiming to observe and identify aspects of the genres of dance present therein, in particular the so-called modern dances, as well as traces of the dancers social identities. To such purpose, the ballet dances analyzed will be of a type of Revue, the 1920s Revue, that which is no longer the Years Revue, but that still has not completely lost touch with the text, which in other words, still preserves a thread of the script, however tenuously. To that end, two Revue texts from the 1920s have been worked with, Marques Porto and Ary Pavãos Comidas Meu Santo, from 1925; and Marques Porto and Luiz Peixotos Guerra ao Mosquito, from 1929, in order to draw a parallel between these Revue texts and modernity and the dance numbers. To investigate the panorama of the ballet dances, an analysis of photographs from those shows, newspaper reviews, Revue texts and, -in a slightly less incisive manner- cartoons and caricatures, was conducted. This was done with the intention of unveiling historical traces in order to enable us to better comprehend dance within the Revue theater cultural practices in Rio de Janeiro, debating aspects regarding modernity and the invention of the Brazilian national identity
