Abstract

Starting from a case study on the Brazilian playwright Augusto Boal, this article seeks to reflect on the issue of torture in the theater of resistance to the military regime in Brazil. The experience of torture experienced by the artist, as well as his production as a playwright, theater director and writer, deeply anchored the current reflection. Thus, the analysis of his play Torquemada (1971) and the novel Miracle in Brazil (1979)  revealed Boal´s motivations, his aesthetic and dramaturgical choices and established a link between the moment of his life at the experience of imprisonment, torture and exile, and his artistic production at that moment.
