Chico Buarque de Holanda is a Brazilian musician, playwright, writer and actor, one of the biggest names in Brazilian popular music. After his return from Italy, he composed many works and one of them is the music Geni and the zeppelin (1979) (who composes the play Ópera do Malandro (1978)), the letter that denounces the way Brazilian society judge’s women. Rosario Castellanos is, today, one of the biggest names in Mexican literature; she was a writer of several literary genres, as well as a philosopher, thinker and researcher. Her play El eterno femenino (1975), a farce, brings a humorous criticism, but it denounces the portrait of women in Mexican society (say, Latin American). The combination of these two authors serves us as a purpose to converge in an analysis of the characteristics imposed by a patriarchal machist society, both there (Mexico) and here (Brazil). The purpose of this article is to point out convergences between the discourse of the play and the lyrics of the song, related to women's issues. In this way, we will walk through the theoretical basis of analysis of theatrical composition proposed by Anatol Rosenfeld (1982), a look at the relationship between history and fiction in Latin America proposed by Fleck (2017) and, finally, a quick reflection through discourse analysis proposed by Pêcheux (2009).
