Between fragments, the Branco background

Abstract

The article tries to approach how the play Branco: o cheiro do lirio e do formol brings for its formal structure the marks and scars of the social collision generated during its production and subsequent presentations. Therefore, the fissures, fragmentations and the attempts of elucidation of the speech started to be formal witnesses of a historical moment in the debate about racism in Sao Paulo. As this article is a reverberation of the show, it tries to debate those subjects also in the formal structure of the text, trying to contemplate in the writing process the discussed theatrical subjects.
