This article aims to analyze the play As aves da noite, by Hilda Hilst, written in 1968. It deals with the Jewish Holocaust in the Second World War. Its plot revolves around the figure of Father Maximilian Kolb who volunteered to die in the so-called ‘hunger Dungeon’ in place of another arrested person by the SS. The development of the characters and their dialogues resonates Adornian’s question about what type of poetry is possible after Auschwitz. Hilst proposes the non-appeasable nuisance, with the isolation experience of the viewer/reader, through her lyric theatre and specific details for the creation of the scenario.
