Resumo: Publicado em 1992, The Butcher Boy, celebrado romance de Patrick McCabe, logo foi adaptado para o cinema e para o teatro. Em sua forma dramática, intitulada Frank Pig Says Hello, a peça teatraliza as memórias de infância de Frank Pig, ou Piglet, um "menino-porquinho". A despeito da dimensão trágica dos conflitos existenciais e sociais que modelam a peça de McCabe, sua dramaturgia subverte a dignificada tradição das tragédias e dos dramas sociais por meio da paródia e da ironia, substituindo o pathos trágico por humor e deboche. Fortemente marcada por traços recorrentes na arte pós-moderna, Frank Pig Says Hello apresenta-se como uma peça que, ao desconstruir as formas dramáticas tradicionais, desconstrói também, por via do riso, do sarcasmo e do grotesco, motivos e fatos associados à história da Irlanda, assim como questiona valores hegemônicos da cultura ocidental. O presente estudo analisa a parodização da ação trágica na peça, examinando as relações entre dramaticidade, violência e irreverência esté-tica. Palavras-chave: Frank pig says hello -Patrick Mccabe -The butcher boyParódia pós-modernaAbstract: Published in 1992, The Butcher Boy, a celebrated novel by Patrick McCabe, was soon adapted for the cinema and the theatre. In its dramatic form, entitled Frank Pig Says Hello, the play presents the childhood memories of Frank Pig, or Piglet. In spite of the tragic dimensions of the existential and social conflicts in McCabe's play, his dramaturgy subverts the dignified tradition of tragedies and social dramas through parody and irony, replacing tragic pathos for humor and mockery. Strongly marked by recurrent features characterizing post-modern art, Frank Pig Says Hello not only undermines traditional dramatic forms through laughter, sarcasm and the grotesque, but, in doing so, it also deconstructs motifs and facts associated to the history of Ireland, while calling into question Western hegemonic cultural values. The present study analyses the parodying of the tragic action in the play, examining the roles of dramatization, violence and aesthetic irreverence.
