Dias Gomes, Ferreira Gullar, and João das Neves: Texts, Sounds, and Social Engagement in Post-1964 Brazil
In post-1964 Brazil, distinctive productions and themes challenged strict censorship. In Dr. Getúlio, by Dias Gomes and Ferreira Gullar (1968), and in O último carro, by João das Neves (1977), music, socially engaged drama, and staging are intertwined. Playwrights and directors, in their quest to achieve the art-engagement binomial, bring a samba school and a suburban train to the stage.

Abstract:
In post-1964 Brazil, distinctive productions and themes challenged strict censorship. In Dr. Getúlio, by Dias Gomes and Ferreira Gullar (1968), and in O último carro, by João das Neves (1977), music, socially engaged drama, and staging are intertwined. Playwrights and directors, in their quest to achieve the art-engagement binomial, bring a samba school and a suburban train to the stage.
