Description
Summary:The purpose of this work is to check whether there was and how it gave a possible intertextual presence of the mythical-historical figure of Joan of Arc in literature and drama of Brazilian theater. Thus, the intercultural dialogue is chosen as a means or framework for understanding this movement to reframe the unique figure of Joan of Arc in Brazilian theater scene. Thus, we conclude that the marks left by the figure of Joan of Arc at the National Theatre were not accidental, they symbolically represent a reading of repressive processes occurring in Brazil and the situation of woman who remains curtailed their rights and fighting tirelessly towards the overcoming of adversity and oppression in family, social, political and economic context.
