Resumo - Um Auto para Jerusalém dá o seu nome a uma ópera criada por este mestrando, por seu turno baseada na peça teatral homónima de Mário Cesariny de Vasconcelos, um dos responsáveis pela entrada do surrealismo em Portugal. A peça original foi publicada em 1964 e foi proibida pelo regime autoritário que governava o país, podendo ser considerada uma peça de intervenção partindo do princípio da sátira, um dos elementos essenciais da estética surrealista – desta forma, Cesariny podia criticar o regime de então sem o mencionar directamente escrevendo um enredo passado na Antiguidade e numa região longínqua. Este trabalho parte da elaboração da partitura geral da ópera e expande-se para um comentário sobre uma actualidade que não mudou muito desde a publicação da peça original e do período histórico do enredo, reflectindo ainda acerca do papel da Arte enquanto instrumento de questionamento da sociedade na qual hoje vivemos e ainda acerca da questão da intemporalidade, que é fulcralmente importante para definir o curso da Humanidade como ela hoje em dia existe e como o presente, moldado do passado, pode influenciar o futuro em todos os níveis.
Abstract - An Act for Jerusalem gives its name to an opera created by this Master’s degree student, by turn based on the homonymous theatrical play by Mário Cesariny de Vasconcelos, one of those responsible for the arrival of surrealism in Portugal. The original play was published in 1964 and was banned by the authoritarian regime which then ruled that country, being considered a protest play based upon the principle of satire, one of the essential elements of surrealist aesthetics – this way, Cesariny could criticise that time’s regime without mentioning it directly by writing a plot set in Antiquity and in a distant region. This work departs from the elaboration of the opera’s full score and expands itself into a commentary on current affairs which have not changed much since the publication of the original play and the historical timeline of the plot, reflecting as well on the role of Art as an instrument of questioning the society in which we live today and also on the issue of timelessness, which is of paramount importance to define the course of Humanity as it exists nowadays and how the present, shaped from the past, can influence the future at all levels.
