To do so, the problem asks: how Chico Buarque, drawing on theatrical and literary resources, as the ones created and discussed by Bertolt Brecht, guarantee a dialectical narrative while proposes a new way of theater in a historical context marked by a dictatorship in Brazil. To achieve our goal, we propose the following hypothesis: Ópera do Malandro (1978) k ; dialectical theory absorbed by Brazilian theater implied a new theater by respecting the demands of each historical context; the irony and parody are procedures that generate a distancing effect on the audience allowing a transforming action. Regarding the development of the theme, our research aims to analyze comparatively the plays Ópera do Malandro , Chico Buarque, and Ópera dos Três Vinténs, . y were important to guide our steps. We highlight the importance of the following scholars: Anatol Rosenfeld, Antonio Cândido, and Mikhail Bakhtin, besides texts of Bertolt Brecht himself. Among the research results, we emphasize that Chico k w k w w strict censorship that took place in Brazil from 1960 and the mid 1980s. All and all, w y malandro announced by the title of the play / O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar o modo como as teorias brechtianas foram absorvidas por Chico Buarque de Hollanda em sua produção teatral Ópera do Malandro, encenada em 1978 e publicada em 1979. Para isso a problematização pergunta: até que ponto Ópera do Malandro, valendo-se de recursos cênicos e literários, como propostos por Brecht, garante uma narrativa dialética ao mesmo tempo que propõe uma nova maneira de fazer teatro em um contexto histórico marcado pela ditadura militar de 1964? Propomos as seguintes hipóteses: a Ópera do Malandro (1978) busca, no teatro brechtiano, uma ação transformadora, seja da cena, seja do espectador; a dialética brechtiana absorvida pelo teatro brasileiro implicou um fazer teatral novo ao respeitar as exigências contextuais de suas épocas; a ironia e a paródia são procedimentos que geram o distanciamento do público da encenação, permitindo uma ação transformadora. No que diz respeito ao desenvolvimento da temática, nossa pesquisa emprega como estratégia metodológica um estudo comparativo dessa obra de Chico Buarque e a Ópera dos Três Vinténs, de Brecht. Como fundamentação teórica, valemo-nos das teorias brechtianas e às reflexões acerca da representação cênica. Destacamos os textos de Décio de Almeida Prado, Anatol Rosenfeld, Antonio Cândido, Mikhail Bakhtin, além de textos teóricos do próprio Bertolt Brecht. Entre os resultados da pesquisa, ressaltamos que Chico Buarque e sua equipe veem na obra de Brecht uma ferramenta que os permitiu driblar a censura que se estabeleceu no Brasil do início dos anos 1960 até meados de 1980. Desse modo, o diálogo com a obra de Brecht denuncia o autor como o próprio malandro anunciado pelo título da peça

The critical component of this thesis, “Hitler Comedy”, is a dissertation on the intersection between comedy theory in general, and the specific practice of Hitler comedy. Focusing on Bertolt Brecht’s play The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui (1941; directed by Heiner Müller in 1995), and Dani Levy’s film Mein Führer: the Truly Truest Truth About Adolf Hitler (2007), my argument critiques existing “instrumentalist” theories of comedy as didactic and morally reductive. Moving beyond prevailing conceptualisations of comedy as corrective and/or forgiving, my dissertation emphasises the centrality of pleasure, displeasure and disruption for audience members in the process of their experiencing Hitler comedies. / The creative component of this thesis is a script and a DVD recording of Hitlerhoff, a theatre and multimedia work that combines the characters of Adolf Hitler and David Hasselhoff into a single hybrid figure. Hitlerhoff is a spectacular black comedy that uses comedy to entertain and unsettle, and to disrupt audience members’ expectations. Hitlerhoff is a practical demonstration of the ability of “irresponsible” comedy to act as a potent catalyst for “responsible”, ethically engaged discussions.

This study analyses five British translations of Bertolt Brecht's 'Mutter Courage und ihre Kinder'. Two of these translations were written by speakers of German, and three by well-known British playwrights with no knowledge of the source text language. Four have been produced in mainstream British theatres in the past twenty-five years. The study applies translation studies methodology to a textual analysis which focuses on the translation of techniques of linguistic "Verfremdung", as well as linguistic expression of the comedy and of the political dimension in the work. It thus closes the gap in current Brecht research in examining the importance of his idiosyncratic use of language to the translation and reception of his work in the UK. The study assesses the ways in which the translator and director are influenced by Brecht's legacy in the UK and in turn, what image of Brecht they mediate through the production on stage. To this end, the study throws light on the formation of Brecht's problematic reputation in the UK, and it also highlights the social and political circumstances in early twentieth century Germany which prompted Brecht to develop his theory of an epic theatre. The focus on a linguistic examination allows the translator's contribution to the production process to be isolated. Together with an investigation of the reception of each performance text, this in turn facilitates a more accurate assessment of the translator and director's respective influence in the process of transforming a foreign-language text onto a local stage. The analysis also sheds light on the different approaches taken by speakers of German, and playwrights creating an English version from a literal translation. It pinpoints losses in translation and adaptation, and suggests how future versions may avoid these.

(Anglicky) This diploma thesis conducts a survey of dramatic and theatre work of contemporary German dramatist and director Falk Richter (born 1969) in the context of German political theatre of 20th century, thus primarily Brecht and Piscator tradition. At the same time, the concepts of political and post-dramatic theatre are defined and elaborated. The work points out that the current political function of theatre and its chance to directly influence social reality is understood differently than in the case of both pre-war and post-war epic drama by Erwin Piscator and Bertolt Brecht, or in the documentary drama of the 1960s. The key goal of the thesis is to analyze and interpret chosen Richter's dramatic writings and mainly the project Trust, which was created in collaboration with Dutch choreographer Anouk van Dijk. The project can be perceived as a current form of Richter's poetry, which gradually deviates from the "drama" theatre and inclines to motion drama with dance and performance elements. It is showed how the authors deal with present social and personal issues, which are transformed into theatre expression, motion and dance. At last, the thesis examines in what consists the politics of this project.

This diploma thesis deals with the theatre play The Threepenny Opera by the German playwright Bertolt Brecht.

These theaters are: The Berliner Ensemble, The National Theatre in Prague and The Volkstheater in Vienna.

Esse estudo analisa o filme Dogville a partir do conceito de obra modelo cunhado por Bertolt Brecht. O objetivo é verificar de que modo o filme de Lars von Trier se organiza como projeto consciente em que as dimensões da forma, do conteúdo e do atrito com o aparelho produtivo não se excluem. Como pressupostos teóricos da concepção de forma, estão os conceitos brechtianos de imagem dialética, estranhamento e gestus, que servem de base à pesquisa do campo temático de Dogville, em torno das relações de trabalho. O estudo ainda discute os efeitos da estrutura teatral com tendências épicas dentro da forma do drama cinematográfico, o sentido autocrítico do filme, e as razões de seu impacto como crítica do aparelho produtivo contemporâneo. / This study analyses the film Dogville from the concept of work model created by Bertolt Brecht. The objective is to verify by which means the film of Lars von Trier organizes itself like a conscious project in which the dimension of form, content and the friction with the productive apparatus don\'t exclude each other. As teorical assumptions of form conception are the brechtian notion of dialetic image, strangeness and gestus, which will serve as base of research to the thematic field of Dogville, rounding the work relations. The study also discusses the effects of the theater structure with epic tendencies inside the cinematic dramatic form, the self-criticism sense, and the reasons of its impact as critic of the contemporary productive apparatus.

The goal of the Master Thesis is to analyse the performance Eraritjaritjaka created by the leading director of German experimental theatre Heiner Goebbels.
