O Ceará moleque dá um show: da história de uma interpretação sobre o que faz ser cearense ao espetáculo de humor de Madame Mastrogilda

Abstract

The idea of a “Ceará moleque” has been simbolized through the literature in brochures newspapers and magazines since the 19th century making its part in the collective imaginary and memory That label means that the people from Ceará are funny and humorous by nature However the meaning of a “Ceará moleque” is relative it is necessary to know which perspective it is utilized how it is interpreted and symbolically assimilated In the middle of the 1980’s a group of artists started to present humor shows at bars and pizzerias (pizza parlor) in the city of Fortaleza Since then these professionals are taken mainly by the local means of communication as another expression of a “Ceará moleque” or “molecagem cearense” So a possible question is which is the “molecagem” of those artists To help answering that question I have studied the humorist Eddi Lima he is among of those artists that were mentioned Thus I´ve searched in a specific way through the Madame Mastrogilda (Eddi Lima) humor show´s watching and through interviews with the humorist which interprets that character to describe and explain the way how that artist provokes some laughs how he deals with this ability to the humor
