Abstract

This article offers an overview of Fernando Arrabal’s theatre in Brazil. Following the first stagings by São Paulo amateur companies in the late fifties, two major performances in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro took place in 1968 and 1970, which boosted the author’s popularity and brought about a large number of his texts’ stagings across the country. We will also assess the excellent nature of the press reviews on these productions as well as the impact of Arrabal’s work upon Brazilian theatre.
