This article investigates screen performance in Brazilian cinema of the 2010s, analyzing the relationship between the actor and the character, fiction, and fabulation. During this period, there is an increase in the use of non-professional actors who represent specific social issues of race, class, and gender. The screen performance here is based on hyper-realistic (Margulies, 2016), performative (Baumgärtel, 2018), and epic principles. The hyper-realistic and performative principles are crucial for forming a "total amalgam" (Autor, Ano) between actor and character, while the epic quality (Brecht, 1978; Rosenfeld, 1985) and allegory (Xavier, 2015) help to collectivize this experience for a social group, offering a critical gesture on the film's narrative.
