In Portugal, during the Estado Novo period, although the censorship committee prohibited the work by German dramatist Bertolt Brecht (1889-1959), dramatists, actors, and directors were able to, somehow, acquire knowledge concerning the assumptions of Brechtian epic theater and put them into practice in their dramaturgical creations and staging. This way, some of the plays produced by Portuguese dramaturgy in the second half of the 20 century, besides frequently approaching historical themes (in order to discuss the past aiming at analyzing the present), articulated the aesthetics of Brecht’s epic theater as an innovation of drama performed up to that point. Results of Brechtian perspective on epic theater, O render dos heróis (1960), by José Cardoso Pires (1925-1998) and Felizmente há luar! (1961), by Luís de Sttau Monteiro (1926-1993) are the corpus of this Master Degree’s dissertation. These plays have, in their plots, facts which are reminiscent or antecedent of the Liberal Revolution in 1820, with the objective of – through its allegory – leading the reader to a critical analysis of Portugal’s social-political situation under António de Oliveira Salazar’s dictatorship regime. Analyze appropriation forms and the elaboration of the distancing effect – characteristic elements in Brechtian theater – in these plays, as well as the relation between these plays and the political period marked by the Salazarian dictatorship. For that matter, our theoretical foundation is mainly made up by theories regarding Brecht’s epic theater, considering them in the Portuguese theater context in the 1960s. Key-words: contemporary Portuguese theater; Brechtian epic theater; Salazarian censorship; history of Portuguese theater; Portuguese dramaturgy.
