Os Sertões: A Luta II - Do Desmassacre ao Reinício

2006 · 374 min

Dedicated to "all the power of the Un-massacre of Art and to the effects of the Trans-Human power of the Crowd," the staging of the last part of the book deals with the fourth and last expedition by the Brazilian National Army to the Northeastern "sertão." 12 thousand soldiers, cannons, and modern weapons where deployed, together with modern strategists such as Marshal Bittencourt who, for the first time in the history of the Brazilian Army, established an operational base away from the front, from where he commanded the maneuvers that General Arthur Oscar and his deputy, the blood-thirsty General Barbosa, executed. The play shows the end of the War of Canudos, which resulted in the massacre of the sertanejos, the death of Antônio Conselheiro himself (who went to meet God), and the destruction of the citadel.

Directed by José Celso Martinez Corrêa · Written by Euclides da Cunha
