Durante os seis encontros do curso, nos deteremos sobre a forma épica em solo britânico, enfocando peças (utilizaremos as traduções) de quatro dramaturgas, cuja obra contestadora é muitas vezes negligenciada pela historiografia e pela crítica. O curso pretende evidenciar o trabalho das dramaturgas Joan Littlewood, Shelagh Delaney, Caryl Churchill e Sarah Kane dentro do moderno teatro britânico, em especial nos desdobramentos da forma épica.
Conteúdo programático:
Aula 1: Apresentação do curso e panorama da chegada do teatro épico na Grã-Bretanha
Aula 2: Excertos de Oh, Que Delícia de Guerra! (Oh, What A Lovely War!) (1963), de Joan Littlewood: questionando os limites da forma tradicional
Aula 3: Um Gosto de Mel (A Taste of Honey) (1958), de Shelagh Delaney: contestando a categoria Angry Young Men
Aula 4: Top Girls (1982), de Caryl Churchill: o neoliberalismo invade a cena
Aula 5: Excertos de Phaedra’s Love (1996), de Sarah Kane: o clássico como ponto de partida
Aula 6: Finalização do curso e apontamentos sobre o teatro contemporâneo britânico
