Abstract
The essay focuses on the contemporary documentary performance regarding the transmission of historical knowledge on a double perspective: theatre and the production of meaning, history and the production of presence, according to the ideas of German philosopher Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht. In order to accomplish that, two plays are analysed: Um Museu Vivo de Memorias Pequenas e Esquecidas [A Living Museum of Small and Forgotten Memories] by Joana Craveiro, from Lisbon, Portugal, and Guerrilheiras ou Para a Terra nao Ha Desaparecidos [Guerrilla Women or There Are No Missing People for the Earth] by Gabriela Carneiro da Cunha, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. DOCUMENTARY THEATRE / HISTORIOGRAPHY / MEMORY / PRODUCTION OF MEANING / PRODUCTION OF PRESENCE
