| Summary | "Effeitos do Hypnotismo" by A. Armando is an original comedy in one act that was first performed at the Theatro Recreativo da Lapa in the late 19th century, specifically in April 1890. This humorous play explores the themes of hypnotism and its effects on interpersonal relationships, particularly between fathers and daughters. The story unfolds in a domestic setting in contemporary Lisbon, reflecting societal norms of the time while incorporating elements of farce. The plot centers around Venceslau das Neves, who is obsessed with hypnotism after attending a session and desires to use it to manipulate his daughter Elvira's marital choices. Elvira, meanwhile, is in love with Anacleto, a poor pharmacy assistant, rather than her father's chosen suitor, the wealthy but dull Felisberto. A series of comedic misunderstandings arises as Venceslau attempts to facilitate a hypnotic demonstration, leading to chaotic and humorous situations. Ultimately, the ruse culminates in Elvira's awakening from a faux hypnosis set up to thwart her father's plans, resulting in a resolution that favors true love over societal expectations. The play cleverly critiques the use of hypnotism as a metaphor for control and highlights the struggles of personal choice against familial obligation. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
