RESUMO

At the turn of the 19th century to the 20th century, Fortaleza, the capital of Ceara, Brazil, was in the midst of political clashes brought about by the acciolina oligarchy (i.e. the oligarchy led by Nogueira Accioly) and the transformations which took place by the economic development from the cotton activity. It was in this scenario that the theater conquered its splendor in the city, with the construction of its oficial show house, the Theatro José de Alencar, and with the growth of drama production companies and local dramaturgical productions . Theatrical productions at the time, highlighted moral ideas and habits. The main objective of this work is, thus. to analyze how morality and customs were represented by the theater produced in Fortaleza during the first Republic. While the theatre appeared as a form of speech, it also showed the so-called everyday life popular customs. This way, at the same time, theater was a means of resistance to current order, it also served to legitimize it. In the process, issues such as the potitical disputes, the desire for civility and progress, and the defense of christian morals, present in Fortaleza, became part of theatrical representations. In order to understand how theater represented this socialcultural reality, the dialogue towards Semiology and Sociology was expanded, by means of which we highlight the theater as a physical space and as a means of artistic expression, in addition to the construction of the dramatic text and the individuals that produced it. To this end, newspapers, chronicles, plays which were performed in Fortaleza theaters, and, especially, comedies which represented everyday life were used as sources for the research here reported.
