RESUMO

This analysis focus on the theater made for adults in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, between the years of 1980 and 1990. Until now many researchers think that this was a lost decade in the theater realm, because they do not recognize the immense aesthetic value of the Brazilian drama in this period. Nevertheless, based on an extended documentation and statements of many artists who were active during those years, I affirm that the period was of a rich, polemic, and diversified production. On political terms, it corresponds to the end of a long and recent-ended dictatorship and to the first steps of new democratic era, which certainly are interconnected. At that time the artists lived an intense fight not only against the censorship, but also against the political and aesthetic prejudice from many leftists, and asked for an openly political agenda also in theater field. The groups under scrutiny are TUOV Teatro Popular União e Olho Vivo, (Popular Theater Union and Live Eye) that started in 1966 leaded by the director César Vieira (Idibal Pivetta); and Apoena/Engenho that started in 1979 leaded by its radical director, Luiz Carlos Moreira. Both groups are still active nowadays. In this work, I focus mainly on the epic and political treatment of their polemic performances of the play "Apoena l." At the end I publish an extensive list of 2.042 performances of the period
