Sumario:The following article proposes a revision of dramatic creation strategies present in the play Gota d’água (1975) by Chico Buarque and Paulo Pontes.

Then, the manner in which authors make use of epic-brechtian resources is analyzed to finally develop an interpretation proposal that links the 1975 play to the political and social situation in Brazil during the military dictatorship.
