MST Narrates Boal: from the Dialogue of Ligas Camponesas (Peasant Leagues) with the Arena Theatre to the Partnership of Theatre of the Oppressed Center with MST (Landless Movement)

The paper aims to highlight - through the analysis of the relevance and relationship between these two theatrical moments - the legacy of experience that organically articulated the spheres of culture and politics in the 1960s, as well as the trauma of interruption of the process, forced by weapons and by private capital business. The balance of the MST work in progress in the theatrical field, with its limits, advances and challenges will be material of analysis in this article, with emphasis on the role played by playwright, theorist and director Augusto Boal as the protagonist of the two historical times and as an interconnection element of the two proposals.
