SUMMARY:

Greta Garbo, who would have thought, ended up in Irajá (1974), a comic text by Fernando Mello, is part of a series of theater texts, with a strong political content, that were written in Brazil during the period of the civil-military dictatorship (1964-1985). Since the beginning of the coup, theatrical authors, imbued with the struggle against the nefarious militaristic and authoritarian cycle that was outlined, began to show in their dramaturgies the ills and social prejudices of the bourgeoisie and illegitimate governments, with the main objective of blurring the socially imposed status quo. In the theatrical text in question, we follow the adventures and misadventures of Pedro (or Greta Garbo), a lonely middle-aged homosexual, effeminate, nurse and resident of the Rio de Janeiro suburb, who falls deeply in love with the young Renato, a country boy, who arrives in the capital state in order to study medicine. They live a relationship that is sustained, at least initially, by the fact that the nurse financially supplies the young boy. Given the perspectives pointed out, this communication aims to debate, based on the dramaturgical text Greta Garbo, who would say, ended up in Irajá, as the character Pedro is constructed and evidenced, considering comicality as a political device for the visibility and consequent protagonism of the male homosexual in the theatrical text, in the period of the state of exception in Brazil.
