This article intends to show Miguel Jorge’s resistance dramaturgy, specifically the texts O Visitante and Os Angélicos, both published in 1973 and censored by Brazil’s military dictatorship before they could be enacted. Our considerations goes firstly through a brief incursion about the writer’s life and work, showing his dramaturgy and the political engagement contexts when the dramaturgy texts were premiered. Finally, we analyze the vanguard aspects in the works O Visitante and Os Angélicos, and also how the expressiveness of the surrealistic aesthetic is able to engender a work full of strong marks of abstraction, at the same time as, - throughout the artistic operation – it imagines and metaphorizes the experiences of oppression and violence experienced by the dictatorial.
Keywords: Miguel Jorge’s theater. Resistance. Surrealism.
