Abstract

The political, economic and social movements that occur in each country and around the world can be themes and / or influences on the language conception of an artistic work. This article aims to understand one of the elements of the scene, the costume, as a political instrument, a manifesto, investigating whether it is possible to manifest these creative influences also in an authorship of the costumes designed for a performance, in order to compose the dramaturgy. Three stage costumes, in three different political contexts, are analyzed in this study: from Mexican political violence to the polarization of Brazil during the 2018 elections, going through the refugee crisis that marked and marks world history.
