EROS, HISTÓRIA E UTOPIA: O TEATRO DE NATÁLIA CORREIA

Among the great diversity of the literary works by Natália Correia (S. Miguel/Azores, 1923 Lisbon, 1993), playwriting is a fundamental sphere through which we can assess the importance of her artistic legacy, one that carries within the experimental and provocative attitude of the author, in an intimate and public quest for ethical, political, and spiritual self-knowledge, in the broader sense of the word. The present essay intends to offer a sequential perspective of the playwriting by Natália Correia in addition to attending to some of her less known plays – that will attempt to show how the theatre stage of today can benefit from the confrontation with the inventive poetics of her playwriting.
