title = {Practices of Freedom within and against Unfreedom: Banho de Sol and a Genealogy of Theatre in Sites of Incarceration in Brazil},
year = {2026},
note = {At the crossroads of Theatre Studies, Critical Pedagogy and Abolition
Studies, Samantha Pires Vianna retraces a genealogy of theatre in
Brazilian sites of incarceration, from resistance to enslavement to
contemporary prison theatre programmes. This historicisation opens
avenues of inquiry for a close reading of Banho de Sol (Zula Cia. de
Teatro, 2019), a work of participatory theatre documenting the
encounter of four theatre teachers with incarcerated women.
Foregrounding structural racism, gender oppression, and colonial
legacies as core concerns, the author examines body, memory and
commotion strategies to demonstrate how theatre may expose carceral
structures, activate bonds of solidarity and open abolitionist
horizons.},
