SENHORA
DOS AFOGADOS/OUR LADY OF THE DROWNED
Nelson
Rodrigues
‘Brazilian
magic’ – Time Out on Rodrigues’
Waltz # 6 (StoneCrabs, 2005)
“I
wanted to be the only woman in this house; we’re
alone, father, in an empty house.”
Written
in 1947, with the North-eastern coast of Brazil
in mind ‘Senhora do Afogados’ is suffused
with Latin passion. At times humorous but always
provocative, the Drummonds family are haunted by
the murder of a dockyard prostitute.
The
two younger daughters of Misael Drummond are drowned.
That leaves only the eldest Moema, the eldest. Engaged
to the ‘Fiancé’, Moema’s
wish is to be her father’s only woman left
in the house. In the course of the play, the mother,
Eduarda, is forced by the fiancé to abandon
the household. Misael faces up to his crime; The
fate of Moema is to be resolved by the weight of
her forbidden desires – who dares to judge?
Humorous
scenes at the brothel juxtapose the bourgeois world
of the Drummonds against the dockyard life of prostitutes,
comb salesmen and diseased legs of the brothel owner.
As
with most of Rodrigues’ works, the play sits
on several levels of realism, symbolism and stylised
structure to engage the audience in a dialogue concerning
the darker human truths.
