RESUMO

In October 1944 in Rio de Janeiro a group formed by black women and men, having as its leader the black activist Abdias do Nascimento was created: the Experimental Black Theater. Its prime aim was to give black actors and actresses conditions to take to stage characters free from the stereotyped vision that was being reproduced and absorbed specially after the 19th century. Black people represented in an inhumane way were about to be ignored, to make room for the Negro with his own questions and dilemmas. The white actor painted black, so common in the Brazilian theater, would also be substituted. Widely the group initiative also represented the refuse of a role, not only in theater, but also in society, that the stage represented very clearly. Considered the subject of his own destiny the blacks were asked to assume a great part of the responsibility to himself integrated, but always claiming for real integration conditions. This objective was determinant for the development of a wide proposal of the group. And the investigation of its trajectory and its strategy of action shows the way this important initiative of the Brazilian black movement was it connected to its context
