A model of dramatic analysis, based upon the physical concept of spacetime, as formulated by Hermann Minkowski, is presented herein.My initial aim was to employ this model to help understand how some contemporary plays break off time and space agreements, emulating memory's vagueness.Moreover, I intended to test the model's applicability to play staging.The theoretical start-point for this is Albert Einstein's Special Relativity Theory, which encompasses the idea of spacetimeupon which this work also reflects, under the essentialy philosophical point-of-view of Henri Bergson.The ten plays that constitute Jorge Andrade's cycle Marta, a Árvore e o Relógio were analysed.I also included observations about some productions of the Marta cycle plays, of those that took place in São Paulo.It can be concluded that the spacetime concept is specialy helpful for the exegesis of plays which structure is based upon narratives where the events happen simultaneously and/or not chronologically, and in spaces which penetrate one another.It was not, however, possible to verify the intentional use of spacetime on the stage.At most, it can be said that the rubrics by Jorge Andrade, when adhered to, are able to elicit a narrative made by spacetime slices which dialogue in a less conventional manner inside both the author's and the spectator's memories.Through this work, the model considered is inserted in an age in which the narratives, in general, have smashed themselves to smithereens, in order to answer to the needs of human minds more and more reduced to shards
