The main goal of this article is to study how the Brazilian Dramatic Conservatory judged the plays written in Brazil or abroad mainly between 1843 and 1864, that brought to light slavery as its subject. The analysis of several evaluation reports indicates that the Conservatory worked to maintain the status quo of slavery in Brazilian society. Plays that strongly criticized slavery or the slave trade were thus declared forbidden and could not be staged. The Conservatory’s members were mostly guided by racial and social prejudices.
