Do Teatro de Revista ao Burlesque: influências estrangeiras no padrão de beleza na cena brasileira

Abstract

This paper analyzes some of the changes in the standard of beauty in the Brazilian scene, starting with the Revue Theater, passing through Burlesque, making a reflection on how the theme negatively affects women and ending with the current situation. For its realization, research was done through the reading of authors such as Neyde Veneziano, Denise Bernuzzi de Sant'Anna, Lissa dos Passos and Silva, notorious for their works on art, beauty and the black presence in the Revue. The Burlesque will be present by two authors, Jo Weldon and Dita Von Teese, two current performers who reflect the changes in their art through the ages and finally a debate on globalization and the use of the internet. The methodology used was the reading of the cited authors and others, in the form of books and research articles, and the appreciation of documentaries such as "Mamãe, quero ser vedete", directed by Neyde Veneziano, in which former vedettes are interviewed and give the context of the time, in addition to telling their personal experiences with the Revue Theater.
