Antunes Filho's Prismatic Theatre: Staging Nelson Rodrigues and Brazilian Identities

The dissertation includes a discussion of Nelson Rodrigues' career, and information about the development of Antunes Filho's Center for Theatre Research in Sao Paulo (from whence the Nelson Rodrigues adaptations emerged). It also devotes space to the relevance of Antunes Filho's landmark stage production of Macunaima that premiered in 1978 and continued performances through the 1980s. Appendices include detailed chronological listings of Antunes Filho productions, Nelson Rodrigues plays, and sound design cue lists for the adaptations.
