About Gross Boards and Fine Porcelains Abstract
The article proposes a reflection on the work of the theater group Companhia do Latão. The group presents plays related to the study of the Brazilian culture and, at the same time, help us to understand the reality. The outline here is related to "representative dramas," from the workers point of view. In particular, I analyze the play O Patrão Cordial, inspired by Raízes do Brasil and Sr. Puntila e Seu Criado Matti.
