Avatares da peça bem-feita na dramaturgia brasileira contemporânea

Abstract

By analysing the work of three contemporary Brazilian playwrights, Vinícius Calderoni, Jô Bilac and João Sanches, we set out to recognize in contemporary Brazilian playwriting new avatars of the well-made play. To do so, we start by describing the formal and ideological pattern inscribed in this kind of playwriting in the 19th century, in order to establish a comparison with some texts of Brazilian dramaturgy in the 21st century.
