| 520 | 3 | |a This study aimed to investigate how comic elements manifest in contemporary Shadow Theater performances in Brazil. By examining the practices of this theatrical form over the past three decades, it was observed that comic elements have been underexplored by artists, groups, and companies, with only 18% of the works produced focusing on the comic genre, highlighting an underrepresentation of humor in contemporary Shadow Theater productions. However, has this always been the case? How have the few comic works from this period dealt with humor? Are shadow and comedy truly such distant elements? To answer these questions, this work is divided into three parts. The first part is dedicated to the historical study of Shadow Theater in Brazil, with emphasis on the 19th century and contemporary times, covering the period from 1990 to 2021. This study allowed for the observation of a significant shift in the use of comic elements in Shadow Theater, which was more frequent in earlier periods but has become scarce in current productions. Furthermore, it contributed to constructing a comprehensive view of the presence and transformations of comic elements within this artistic language. The second chapter focuses on the analysis of three contemporary Shadow Theater performances, where comedy plays a central role: Mamulengo de la Mancha, Ruver, perdido nas sombras, and Ananse e o Baú de Histórias. The aim of this analysis is to identify the principles of comic elements used in these selected performances and investigate how these principles have been and are applied to provoke laughter. To support this investigation, three main theories of humor and laughter were employed: 1) the Incongruity Theory, 2) the idea of humor as a social construct, and 3) the Relief Theory. Finally, the third chapter studies the points of convergence between shadow and comedy, exploring how these elements, consequently, relate to laughter in Western culture.  | |
