In his novel The Wedding, Nelson Rodrigues moves his experience in playwriting to the boundaries of literature making the words to perform dramatizations in the fictional narrative. Hence the notion of theatricality that characterizes a kind of writing of sensations with undeniable force and impact rises. Such artistic practice explores verbal language so that it is able to recover the absent body of the protagonists and set a syntactic game planned to produce movement, rhythm, visual, sound and tactile images. Thus, the reader experiences the plot during the remarkable experience of reading. Therefore, this dissertation investigates the influence of theatricality on the structure of the novel as well as the experiment of phrasal syntax of a type of literary-dramatic text that Nelson invents, in which the meaning transcends the boundaries of language and educates the sensitivity of the body-reader to experience the power of this alive writing.
