PARANHOS, Kátia Rodrigues. Crossing the ocean: Opinião and Teatro Moderno de Lisboa - resistance and political-cultural contestation in the 1960s. Estud. hist. (Rio J.) [online]. 2012, vol.25, n.49, pp. 31-49. ISSN 0103-2186.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0103-21862012000100004.

Social theater and engaged theater are denominations that took shape in the midst of a hot debate that took place throughout the end of the 19^th century and was consolidated in the 20^th century. Their novelty rested on the relationship they have established between theater and politics or even between theater and propaganda. This article approaches the meanings of resistance and political-cultural contestation of the groups Opinião and Teatro Moderno de Lisboa while taking into account the discourses produced on their collective processes of creation, theoretical research and social intervention.

Keywords : Grupo Opinião; Teatro Moderno de Lisboa; engaged theater; art.
