Resumo
É inegável que a sociedade com o passar dos anos tenha sofrido constantes transformações de ordem tanto social quanto econômica, o que não só promoveu uma mudança no homem moderno, como também passou a se refletir nas artes, possibilitando assim o surgimento do drama moderno como forma de representação desse homem em transformação e suas inquietações. Com o advento do drama moderno não se pode mais pensar em uma única maneira de se conceber o teatro, mas passa-se a considerar a existência do drama em sua pluralidade, na qual suas diversas manifestações buscam ora refletir o homem moderno tal qual ele se apresenta, submetido a um sistema cada vez mais desumano e mesquinho, ora propor um teatro engajado, cujo objetivo seria despertar o homem para que, saindo da inércia em que se encontra, comece a agir contra as injustiças veladas que se tornam cada vez mais frequentes. Friedrich Dürrenmatt, dramaturgo suíço, viveu em um período marcado pela guerra e suas consequências. Tal atmosfera somada a uma tendência de composição híbrida própria ao drama moderno resultaria em uma série de peças que refletem de forma crítica e irônica o homem de seu tempo. O dramaturgo em sua visão sobre a sociedade moderna defendia que nenhum gênero seria mais adequado para representá-la do que a comédia. Ainda que não excluísse a possibilidade do trágico, entendia que esse só seria possível em sua forma híbrida, a tragicomédia. Tomando uma de suas obras mais expressivas, o presente trabalho tem por objeto sua peça tragicômica A visita da velha senhora, publicada pela primeira vez em 1956, buscando analisar de que forma o trágico e o cômico manifestam-se dentro da peça, bem como a maneira como tais aspectos interagem entre si e com as demais características da peça, como, por exemplo, o grotesco. Ademais, se observou também o diálogo estabelecido entre Dürrenmatt e o Teatro Épico de Brecht, seu contemporâneo.
It is undeniable that the society over the years has undergone constant changes in both social and economic aspects, which not only promoted a change in modern man, but was also reflected in the arts, allowing the emergence of modern drama as a way of representation of the man in transformation and their concerns. With the advent of modern drama it is not possible to think of a single way of conceiving the theater, since now we can consider the existence of the drama in its plurality, in which its various manifestations now seek to reflect the modern man as it is. Therefore, some now propose a committed theater, whose goal would be to awaken the people out of the inertia that they are, urging them to begin to act against the veiled injustices that become more frequent. Friedrich Dürrenmatt, Swiss playwright, lived in a period marked by war and its consequences. This atmosphere coupled with a tendency to a hybrid composition in modern drama would result in a series of plays that reflect critically and ironically the man of his time. The playwright in his vision of modern society argued that no genre would be more appropriate to represent it than comedy. Although he does not exclude the possibility of the tragic, he understood that this would only be possible in a hybrid form, the tragicomedy. Taking one of his most significant plays, this work is focused on his tragicomic play The visit of the old lady, first published in 1956, seeking to examine how the tragic and the comic are manifested within the play, as well as how such features interact with themself and with the other features, such as, for example, the grotesque. Furthermore, it also noted the dialogue between Dürrenmatt and the epic theater of Brecht, his contemporary.
