Theatre, Resistance and Democratic Rupture

Abstract

The chapter is focused on the production of the first Brazilian University Festival of Improvisation Theatre and the problems faced by the production team (teachers and students from two public higher education institutions in Rio de Janeiro). The institutional and political boycott faced by the team will be described and analysed, in a socio-political context of democratic rupture, with the event assuming a character of art for change and resistance.
