The paper analysis the play Filha Moça [Young Daughter], written in 1956 by dramatist Augusto Boal, to be performed by the Teatro Experimental do Negro [The Blackman Experimental Theater]. The play, just like many others at the time, was completely forbidden by the censorship even before it opened, something hard to imagine happening nowadays. Although censorship now may not be as brutal and direct, it still exists and it works through subtler methods as equally effective. Curatorial projects, derivated from the economical power and public or private control of the arts, are, ironically, also a theater class achievement but also a form of censorship.
