• This article proposes a historical-political view on the encounter between theatre and education, considering theatre for children as its practical operator. Following an analytical effort inspired by Foucauldian theorization, the study focuses on the discourses on the topic in Brazil from the beginning to the middle of the 20th century, making use of two unusual sources in theatre historiography: the newspaper Correio da Manhâ and the scientific journal Revista Brasileira de Estudos Pedagógicos. By pointing out the discursive bond between theatre practices and the ideas of the Escola Nova movement, the study assigns to theatre for children and school theatre a prominent role among the pedagogizing strategies of population government.
