Analysis of the collective in “Fuenteovejuna” and “Bacurau”

Fuenteovejuna; Bacurau; collectivity; baroque theater.

Baroque theater and cinema converge on a common point in this research: collectivity. 

The play “Fuenteovejuna” (1619), by the Spanish writer Lope de Vega, and the Brazilian film “Bacurau” (2019), 

by Kleber de Mendonça Vasconcellos Filho and Juliano Dorneles, configure the corpus of this work that aims to

 analyze it in the light of concept of collectivity. To this end, this study observed the collective and unified reaction

 used in both contexts as a defense strategy against abuses by their rulers. With this analysis, the work 

established a correlation between the main characters typical of 17th century Baroque theater and the corpus. 

Therefore, he concluded that the parallel convergences and similarities perceived in the collectivities of both plays

 resulted in the discovery that, despite the stories being written and situated in environments and times that are 

distant and distinct from each other, they portray similar suffering and similar outcomes. Finally, in addition to the 

narratives containing demanding characters that can inspire the population, the collaboration that these works

 brought to the theatrical and cinematographic universes of their time is notable.
