Opis

From what is found in the text 'As Grandes Lonas do Céu' (The Great Canopies of the Sky) by playwright Fernando Limoeiro, one can see the possibilities of a theatrical art that contains political criticism without losing its artistic elements, thus filling some gaps related to the political and aesthetic theatrical debate. Through this book, the reader will realise that Limoeiro's dramaturgy still provides the viewer with a broad view of circus history and melodrama, broadening the understanding of the work itself and its objectives from the perspective of how the text was transposed to the stage by the 'Cia Candongas e Outras Firulas' theatre company from Belo Horizonte (MG).
