Resumo: This article critically analyzes the main differences and similarities between The Two-Character Play and Out Cry, by Tennessee Williams. They are plays with the same plot, but with significant differences in narrative form. The main objective is to identify the autobiographical relationships, verify the formal resources that associate them with the so-called theater of the absurd and the Pirandello´s meta-theatrical work, as well as other possible contributions from the experimental theater of the US countercultural years and off-off-Broadway. In addition, it presents the two plays, their reception, synopsis, context, and the conditions in which they were written. It also points out the Brazilian stage montages and their contexts. In conclusion, the reference to experimental devices of the metatheater and the so-called theater of the absurd allows opening doors of understanding and aesthetic paths not associated with the playwright in Brazil.

São obras com o mesmo enredo, porém com significativas diferenças na forma narrativa. O objetivo principal é identificar as relações autobiográficas, constatar os recursos formais que as associam ao chamado teatro do absurdo e à obra metateatral de Pirandello, assim como outros possíveis aportes do teatro experimental dos anos contraculturais estadunidenses e o off-off-Broadway. Além disso, apresenta as duas peças, sua recepção, sinopse, contexto e as condições em que foram escritas. Aponta, também, as montagens brasileiras e seus contextos. Como conclusão, tem-se que a remissão a expedientes experimentais do metateatro e do chamado teatro do absurdo permitem abrir portas de compreensão e caminhos estéticos pouco associados ao dramaturgo no Brasil.Universidade Federal de Goiás2023-12-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufg.br/artce/article/view/7412310.5216/ac.v9i1.74123Art on Stage Journal; Vol. 9 No. 1 (2023): Ecoperformance and Ecopolitics of the Scene; 455 - 496Arte de la Escena; Vol. 9 Núm. 1 (2023): Ecoperformance y Ecopolíticas de la Escena; 455 - 496Arte da Cena (Art on Stage); v. 9 n. 1 (2023): Ecoperformance e Ecopolíticas da Cena; 455 - 4962358-6060reponame:Arte da Cenainstname:Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)instacron:UFGporhttps://revistas.ufg.br/artce/article/view/74123/40568Copyright (c) 2023 Luis Marcio Arnaut de Toledohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArnaut de Toledo, Luis Marcio2023-12-16T05:05:53Zoai:ojs.revistas.ufg.br:article/74123Revistahttps://www.revistas.ufg.br/artce/PUBhttps://www.revistas.ufg.br/artce/oaiartedacena@gmail.com||2358-60602358-6060opendoar:2023-12-16T05:05:53Arte da Cena - Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)false
