SUMMARY:

Based on the study of modern brazilian theater, this dissertation aims to show to what extent the show Um Jardim Chamado Getsêmani contributed to the modernization of theater in Natal. Written by Newton Navarro (1928-1992), the play premiered at the Teatro Alberto Maranhão, in 1964, directed by Wilson Maux (1937-2011). Intending to understand why it was considered, by Othon (1998) and Santos (1996), the milestone of modernity in Natal theater, the research addresses Navarro’s artistic training; the dialogue between him and Pernambuco theater; his first steps in the theater of Natal in the groups Os Farsantes (1949-1950) and Teatro Experimental de Arte (1951). The text Um Jardim Chamado Getsêmani is then analyzed, as well as the production of the 1964 play, highlighting the trajectory of director Wilson Maux. The sources consulted are Newton Navarro’s personal collection, the documentary collection of Teatro Alberto Maranhão and national periodicals between the years 1948 and 1964. In this way, this dissertation aims to contribute to the historiography of theater in Natal, presenting a Navarro until then superficially commented on in academia: the theater artist.
