Resumos Cadastrados

Resumo Inglês:

This essay intends to give an account of the activities undertaken by Cia
Ludens, a professional Brazilian theatre company, since its foundation in
2003 up to present days. With the sole purpose of translating and producing
Irish plays in Brazil, mainly by contemporary dramatists, and establishing
possible connections with the Brazilian reality, the company has so far
produced four plays and three staged readings, designed to show part of
its researching process. Interwoven by the concept of “play”, the reflections
presented here reveal how some of Huizinga’s ideas influenced the
company’s artistic choices in its various productions.
