Abstract
In this essay I analyze the relationship between discourse and violence in teatro negro based on the play A roda do mundo, by Cia dos Comuns. I argue that by reclaiming the word, Cia dos Comuns confronts one of the main aspects related to the persistent objectification and dehumanization of the black body: the denial of recogntion of the black body as a body able to have and exercise a proper perspective about itself and about the surrounding world.
