The play As fias de mamãe (1998) brings to the fore pungent themes so as to broaden the debate on urban experience from the perspective of two characters who suggest, based on their quotidian stories, what it means, in a turn of the millennium city like Cuiabá, to live on the outside of market economy facing the local precariousness of public policy. The city, as subject, is the base for discussion on the play and on the urban imagines that the play evokes. This research has the purpose of grounding the relationship between characters, the city's imagine and the quest for the meaning of life in the Brazilian West, employing the re-creation of a play with developments so as to have as purpose the strengthening of the scenic arts in the city of Cuiabá as a requirement for social, economic and cultural development. In an interdisciplinary approach, this research and dissertation aim to produce analysis and dialogue about the need for staging critical thinking on modernity, by recognizing differences and singularities, and to promote access to information which produces modes of living and self affirmation in the face of globalization. We have referred, mainly, to Giorgio Agamben, for thinking and reading the contemporary city through play As fias de mamãe and for seeing the theatre as a means for cultural criticism, to the degree to which it, politically, exposes the nitty-gritty of local life in contact with the civilizational process, acknowledging the ways in which a city's image is produced and reproduced, as urban experience in Cuiabá in the 90's.
