ANATOMY MONSTROUS: POLITICS IN CONTEMPORARY PRODUCTIONS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S TITUS ANDRONICUS

Filipe dos Santos Avila

Resumo


O presente artigo analisa duas montagens contemporâneas da peça Tito Andrônico, escrita por William Shakespeare em cooperação com George Peele. Assim, o presente estudo analisa as montagens de Michael Fentiman (2013) e Lucy Bailey (2014). A análise focou na relação entre os momentos mais violentos da peça e a submissão – ou resistência – das personagens ao poder estatal. Em vez de tentar estabelecer qual a afiliação política de Shakespeare ou discutir se a peça tem uma postura reacionária ou revolucionária, este estudo, baseando-se principalmente em Anderson, Fernie e Gil, conclui que tais montagens contemporâneas revelam ideias complexas sobre poder, liberdade e política. É precisamente nesses momentos de violência que tais ideias podem ser percebidas de forma mais clara.

Palavras-chave: Shakespeare em performance. Tito Andrônico. Violência e política.
