Os movimentos literário-teatrais em Bagé/RS na década de 1970: a luta contra a censura e a repressão

Abstract

This paper aims to report fundamental and central aspects of literary-theatrical movements in Bagé / RS in the 1970s, when we were living the heyday of the Brazilian military dictatorship. For this, it was necessary to conduct a research, which was done through interviews with historians, actors and theater directors, religious, teachers and people who lived in the context of that time. Most of the research material was taken from the archives of Correio do Sul newspaper, a daily circulation newspaper in Bagé at the time, which shows concrete elements in its pages, showing that censorship and repression were present but camouflaged in the case of the municipality. Lastly, the aim of this work is to encourage research on the theme, in view of the novelty of the theme in printed publications, engaging the bageense community, especially those involved with the arts and culture, in a prior and initial knowledge that can stimulate and motivate further research on the subject.
