Aspectos e funções da crítica teatral

Abstract

In this article, we will draw a brief comparison between the function and aspects of theater critics based on three books: Apelos, which is a collection of texts written by the French thinker, director and playwright Jacques Copeau. The collection shows the search for a kind of theather critic who does not submit himself/herself for the commercial
theater; Another book that we analyze is A função da Crítica, which brings three essays of the Brazilian theater critics Barbara Heliodora, Jefferson Del Rios and Sabato Magaldi. These three essays are discussions about the work and the place of theater critic; Written by Daniele Avila Small, O crítico ignorante is the last book that we present to
this article and it proposes a discussion about the critical activity based on studies of the French philosopher Jacques Rancière
