RESUMO

This study is about the insertion of theater in the educational field, and it considers the crossing through of theater by the school, as well as the movements that permeate the history of theater. Based on the critical theory of society developed by Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno, it is understood that theater itself, as an artistic expression, is a way of knowledge. The works of art condense both the contradictions and the antagonism as antitheses of society as problems of their inner shape through their character of negativity, which reinforces art as criticism pertaining to the social reality. From that perception, it was explained how theater relates to the other school contents. To do so, four academic papers about theater and education were selected among the theses and dissertations done at Universidade de São Paulo after the new National Education Bases and Guidelines Law was in force (the law has been ruling since 1996) and the National Curriculum Parameters were implemented (1998). Both Theodor W. Adorno´s thoughts and the discussions in the selected papers help to understand the object of the present study, in an analysis of the relation of theater to education, which searches the way theater is lowered in its potential of contact with reality and criticism of it inside such relation. From the analyses of the four selected papers it is possible to infer that theater has been transformed into an instrument of education, for the teaching activities of theater have met the education of the ruling order
