Resumo

Este ensaio procura tecer uma análise da cidadania das mulheres e da sua dependência de certos silêncios e a exploração dessa tensão em duas produções recentes da Kabosh Theatre Company, com sede em Belfast. Kabosh e a diretora artística da empresa, Paula McFetridge, encenam uma obra que examina as realidades da região na era pós-conflito. Ao construir o quadro teórico para a análise, os conceitos de “silêncio” e “silenciamento” baseiam-se em Kristie Dotson (2015) e em trabalhos sobre violência, como o conceito de “violência epistêmica” de Gayatri Spivak e uma ampla gama de fontes sobre a representação da violência no teatro. O conceito de democracia agonística de Chantal Mouffe molda a discussão sobre a Irlanda do Norte, e Wendy Brown e Joane Butler são as principais estudiosas para a consideração acerca da cidadania e da nação.
