Abstract

We introduce and propose a poetic translation, from Russian to Portuguese, of excerpts from the play Vladimir Mayakovsky. Tragedy (1913), first V. Mayakovsky’s dramatic work. Initially, besides commenting on the context of conception, staging and reception of this play, we highlight some points of relation with other poet’s lyrical works published before the Russian Revolution. Besides being a dramatic work, the Tragedy can also be considered a long lyrical poem that launches the primordial cry of self-celebration of the I-poet, who is aware of his loneliness and puts himself as a prophet in sacrifice for all, position which has been reiterated in his later lyrical works.
