Malazarte, peca de Graca Aranha estreada em 1911, em Paris, e uma amostra significativa de como o simbolismo europeu influenciou a dramaturgia pre-modernista brasileira. No palco, os personagens nao servem tanto a acao, mas a uma discussao filosofica norteada pelos questionamentos morais de Nietzsche – questionamentos deliberadamente irracionais e perfeitos para o ideal simbolista do periodo. Um paralelo entre Canaa – romance anterior de Graca Aranha que tambem discute as ideias de Nietzsche – e Malazarte e possivel e revela como as conviccoes filosoficas do autor transformaramse num curto periodo de tempo. Ainda que a peca tenha fracassado como solucao estetica, a obra e uma tentativa de modernizacao da dramaturgia brasileira em um momento em que o pais carecia de grupos teatrais profissionais. Abstract Malazarte, a play by Graca Aranha, which premiered in 1911, in Paris, shows distinctively the influence Brazilian pre-modernist playwrights received from symbolism. On stage, characters do not really serve the action, but rather some philosophical discussion guided by Nietzsche’s moral inquirings – inquirings meant to be irrational and, as such, perfect to the symbolist ideal of those days. It is possible to see some correspondences between Malazarte and Canaa – a novel written previously by the author, and also discussing Nietzsche’s ideas – and this comparison can show how the philosophic convictions of the author evolved over a short period of time. Though the play has failed as an aesthetic solution, the work is an attempt to update Brazilian theatre in a moment when the country lacked professional theatrical groups.
