Gota d água: o abuso do poder e a eloquência múltipla da palavra

Abstract

This work was conceived with the intention of understanding the way the dramaturgs Paulo Pontes and Chico Buarque produced the work Gota d água, inside the Brazilian context. There are lines and implied sense of an intentional and delineated wit. The play reveals the social dynamics of the modern world, going beyond the national issue and analysing the characteristics and consequences of the capitalist world, where the power shows its claws and creates actors who represent different roles in a conflicted and unequal society.
