Deolindo Checcucci e o teatro infantil baiano no contexto da ditadura militar: arquivo, edição e estudo crítico filológico.

Abstract

Theater, during the 1970s and 1980s, had a remarkable development, even in a society controlled by the Military Dictatorship, which was established in the national territory between 1964 and 1985, restricting freedom of expression through censorship. In this context, we highlight the dramaturgy of Deolindo Checcucci, author who has been producing in Bahia since the 1970s. Characterized as a multifaceted artist, Checcucci takes on the roles of director, teacher and playwright in the Bahian theatrical scenario. Through his children's productions, he sought to develop a critical and innovative theater, able to promote reflection and social change. We can observe these characteristics through Deolindo Checcucci's Collection - Children's Theater, organized by the Team of Censored Theatrical Texts, coordinated by Professor Rosa Borges, at the Federal University of Bahia, since 2006. This thesis will focus on the study of the children's dramaturgy of Deolindo Checcucci, from the organization of the collection, the edition and the critical-philological study of selected texts, gathered in a Hypertextual Archive. Thus, through a dialogue among Philology, Archivistics and computer technologies, it is possible to analize critically the dramaturgical production of Deolindo Checcucci and configure the paths taken by Bahian children's theater during the Military Dictatorship in Bahia.
