“This is going to be chaos!”: dystopia and authoritarianism in Namíbia, não!
Keywords:
dystopia; authoritarianism; space; Namíbia, não! ; Aldri AnunciaçãoAbstract
This article analyzed how the narrative of Namíbia, Não!, a theatrical text by the actor and director Aldri Anunciação, from Bahia, Brazil, elaborates a dystopian universe in which the intersection of temporalities exposes contradictions of the past, broadens the perception of racial violence in the present and holds projections of future in which hostility and interdictions materialize in space. For this purpose, it uses contributions from intellectuals such as Grada Kilomba, in Memórias da Plantação: episódios de racismo cotidiano (2019), by Abdias do Nascimento, in Teatro Experimental do Negro: trajetória e reflexões (2004), by Leda Maria Martins, in Como respirar? (2020), and Gregory Clayes, in Dystopia: A Natural History. A study of modern despotism, its antecedents, and its literary diffractions (2017).
