The theater play “Dar não Dói, que Dói é Resistir”, a collective creation by thestreet theater group Tá na Rua, directed by Amir Haddad, was staged between 2003 and 2006. The theme of the play was the military dictatorship and its consequences, in the periodbetween 1964 to 2002. This article aims to demonstrate how this play contributed to the right to memory and truth, a right of transitional justice. For this purpose, a bibliographic and documentary search of the contents already existing on the play will be carried out. The theoretical framework is centered on the work of Joaquín Herrera Flores, especially theCritical Theory, in which it seeks to understand art as an instrument to achieve human rights. In the end, it is expected to demonstrate that critical art, as an extrajudicial mechanism, cancontribute to the realization of transitional justice.
