Abstract

BAPTISTA, Paulo Ribeiro. A devil with pants in Lisbon: Satanela, modern photography and theatre 1920-1930. Faces de Eva. Estudos sobre a Mulher [online]. 2017, n.37, pp.105-124. ISSN 0874-6885.

The actress, singer and dancer Luísa Satanela, one of Portuguese vaudeville theatre stars of the 1920's and 1930's, innovated with a flamboyant style of short, glamorous and voluptuous costumes, with sequins and feathers, influenced by Hollywood. She contributed for the renewal of the Revista à Portuguesa, a vaudevillelike theatre genre. Satanela's boldness turned her into one of the most controversial figures of her time. Many of those bold situations were captured by Silva Nogueira, a modern photographer, with a complicity that revealed their deep intuition about the empowerment of the actors' image in the age of the illustrated magazines
