Les théâtres afro-descendants contemporains de France, du Brésil et des États-Unis partagent des enjeux esthétiques qui participent d'une poétique commune : la truculence. Les dramaturgies de Koffi Kwahulé, de Suzan-Lori Parks et de Marcio Meirelles (Bando de Teatro Olodum) permettent tout particulièrement de poser les jalons esthétiques et philosophiques de cette poétique contemporaine des corps. La traversée, l'excès (esthétique de la subversion : grotesque, carnavalesque), le salut (philosophie du marronnage) et le bouillonnement (la vibration-jazz qui en résulte), les quatre sèmes qui définissent la truculence, structurent cette poétique qui met en jeu les relations humaines et les mécanismes de domination en interrogeant profondément les violences associées au corps diasporique et contemporain. La poétique de la truculence représente une nouvelle catégorie esthétique de l'altérité se faisant opérateur anthropologique de la conscience diasporique à l'oeuvre. / Contemporary afro-descendant theater plays in France, Brazil and in the US all share the same aesthetic stakes which are part of a common poetics: the truculence. The plays by Koffi Kwahulé, Suzan-Lori Parks and Marcio Meirelles (Bando de Teatro Olodum) make it possible to set the aesthetic and philosophical milestones of this poetics of the contemporary bodies. The crossing, the excess (aesthetic of subversion: grotesque, carnival), the salvation (philosophy of the marronnage) and the boilover (with the jazz-vibration which derives thereof), these four semes which define the truculence, give its shape to this poetics. So as to give way to human relationships and domination mechanisms while deeply questioning the violence associated with the contemporary and diasporic body. The poetics of truculence stands as a new aesthetic category of otherness, set as an anthropological operator of the diasporic consciousness at work. / Os teatros afro-descendentes contemporâneos da França, do Brasil e dos Estados Unidos possuem implicações estéticas que participam de uma poética comum : a truculência. As dramaturgias de Koffi Kwahulé, de Suzan-Lori Parks et de Marcio Meirelles (Bando de Teatro Olodum) permitem, em particular, ancorar as bases estéticas e filosóficas desta poética contemporânea do corpo. A travessia, o excesso (estética da subversão : grotesco, carnavalesco), a salavação (filosofia do marronnage) e a efervescência (a vibração-jazz resultante), os quatro semas que definem a truculência, estruturam esta poética que põe em xeque as relações humanas e os mecanismos de dominação, interrogando profundamente as violências associadas ao corpo diaspórico e contemporâneo. A poética da truculência representa uma nova categoria de alteridade, ao se constituir enquanto operador antropológico da consciência diaspórica em obra.
