Renata Pallottini or Renata Monachesi Pallottini (São Paulo, January 20, 1931 – São Paulo, July 8, 2021) was a Brazilian playwright, essayist, poet, theater professor and translator. She was an award-winning author of poetry, plays, essays, fiction, children's literature, theater theory, and television programs who was notable in the Brazilian literary and theater scenes. In a considerable part of her production, it is possible to identify the questioning and the combat against the social values that delimitated the woman's role in society.
Renata Pallottini established her name in the history of Brazilian theater as the first woman to attend the Dramaturgy course at the School of Dramatic Arts at the University of São Paulo and the first to write for the theater in the 1960s in São Paulo. With an innovative performance, she brought a textual proposal different from what was being done in São Paulo in the theatrical field, which culminated in her identification as a member of the new dramaturgy, a group formed by playwrights who were new to the city of São Paulo and who, in the 1960s and 1970s, promoted transformations in the theater. She was the author of the first Brazilian theater production - A Lâmpada (1960) - that dealt with the theme of homosexuality.
With an intense production, Renata transited through the Arts and Literature with mastery and creativity, having her work marked by a certain performativity, a trait that comes from her relationship with theater. In addition, she also held political and administrative positions in the theatrical sphere. Pallottini died at the age of 90, as a result of multiple myeloma.
