oa Aristófanes na Universidade de Lisboa. Uma experiência pedagógica e artística

If we take as a starting point the idea that a dramatic text is one meant to be performed, inseparable from the staging practices that each period reinvents, and that the best way to study it is through the experience of attending a performance, there is no better option for university students than providing them the possibility to enter that world. The course Encenação do Teatro Clássico (The Staging of Classical Drama), taught to the students of the Faculty of Letters of the University of Lisbon in 2012, culminated with the public performance of Aristophanes’ play Peace, at the Salão Nobre of the University of Lisbon on December 17, 2012. This article is a reflection upon this challenging, though fruitful, pedagogical and artistic experience.
