Collectivity in “Fuenteovejuna” and “Bacurau”

Fuenteovejuna; Bacurau; collectivity; baroque theater; cinema.

Baroque theater and cinema converge on a common point in this research: collectivity. The play Fuenteovejuna (1619), by Spanish writer Lope de Vega, and the Brazilian film Bacurau (2019), by Kleber de Mendonça Vasconcellos Filho and Juliano Dornelles de Faria Neves, make up the corpus of this work, which aims to analyze it in the light of the concept of collectivity. To this, this study looks at the collective and unified reaction used in both contexts as a defense strategy against the abuses of their rulers. With this analysis, the work establishes a correlation between the main characters of 17th century Baroque theater and the corpus. Therefore, he concludes that the parallel of convergences and similarities perceived in the collectivities of both plays resulted in the discovery that, although the stories were written and set in distant and different environments and times, they portrayed similar sufferings and outcomes. Finally, in addition to the fact that the narratives contain vindicating characters who can inspire the population, the collaboration that these works brought to the theatrical and cinematographic universes of their time is notable.
