SUMMARY:

The studies on gender stereotypes in the structure of society have been on the agenda of social movements and feminist academic research since the 19th century. In this way, several doors have been opened with key questions about the meaning of being a man and a woman in society, gender privileges and lack of opportunities, engendered power structures and submission. From the analysis of the history of theater it is also possible to understand that fine art act as a space for modeling behaviors and actions that privilege the masculine as a parameter to define society's values. Thus, women who showed aptitude for this artistic professional segment were seen as worthless and vulgar. But, in the 20th century, inspired by the feminist flags of struggle for gender equality and new critical epistemologies about role representations, the performing arts began to act with dramaturgies that explain gender disparities in everyday relationships, thus emerging groups of feminist theatre. Thus, instigated by reflections along the lines of historiography and review of the literature, the dissertation aims to investigate how and why the Theater of the Oppressed - a dissident movement from the proposal of the Theater of the Oppressed that emerged in the early 1970s - brought the proposals of the Feminist Theater to the their scenic practices. Through bibliographical research, we investigated how women's participation in Brazilian theater has been until the experience of Teatro das Oprimidas. The research highlights the influences of race and class markers as intersectional categories to highlight in the analyzes the importance of scenic productions adopting perspectives that will build a less unequal society without machismo, racism and other social differences.
