description In May 1988, a group of theater actors satirically performed a police raid outside the gates of the 18th High School in Montevideo. A frequent modality of police control over youth, the raids did not have major critical repercussions in public opinion. However, the performance had an unexpected impact when the young high school students panicked. The media coverage brought the practice of raids into the public eye for the first time, in a process that would eventually end with its cancellation by the government. This article describes the practice of raids, presents the trajectory of the Red de Teatro Barrial (RdTB) and its way of functioning, reconstructs the event in front of High School 18 based on newspaper articles and interprets this coverage as an attack on the youth expressions during the post-dictatorship. Finally, it presents the success achieved by the group as the result of a series of actions borrowed from anarchism.

En mayo de 1988, un grupo de actores teatrales representó satíricamente una razia policial frente a las puertas del liceo 18 de Montevideo. Una modalidad frecuente de control policial sobre la población juvenil, las razias no habían tenido mayor repercusión crítica en la opinión pública. Sin embargo, la representación tuvo un impacto inesperado cuando los jóvenes liceales entraron en pánico, incrédulos de que se trataba de una representación. La repercusión mediática ubicaba la práctica de razias en la discusión pública, en un proceso que terminaría con su cancelación por parte del gobierno. Este artículo describe la práctica de las razias, presenta la trayectoria de la Red de Teatro Barrial (RdTB) y su forma de funcionamiento, reconstruye el acontecimiento frente al liceo 18 a partir de piezas periodísticas de prensa e interpreta esta cobertura como un ataque a las expresiones juveniles de la posdictadura. Finalmente, presenta el éxito obtenido por el grupo como resultado de la aplicación de una serie de acciones tomadas del anarquismo. Em maio de 1988, um grupo de atores de teatro realizou satiricamente uma rusga policial em frente aos portões do Colégio 18, em Montevideu. Uma forma comum de controlo policial sobre os jovens, as rusgas policiais não tiveram grande impacto crítico na opinião pública. No entanto, a performance teve um impacto inesperado quando os alunos do ensino secundário entraram em pânico, desacreditando que se tratasse de uma performance. A cobertura mediática trouxe a prática das rusgas policiais aos olhos do público, num processo que culminaria com o seu cancelamento por parte do governo. Este artigo descreve a prática das rusgas policiais, apresenta a história da Rede de Teatros de Bairro (RdTB) e o seu modus operandi, reconstrói o evento em frente ao Colégio 18 com base em artigos de jornais e interpreta esta cobertura como um ataque às expressões juvenis durante o pós-ditadura. Por fim, apresenta o sucesso alcançado pelo grupo como resultado da implementação de uma série de ações emprestadas do anarquismo.
