Clarice's Scream - From text to scene: an analysis of A hora da estrela ou O canto de Macabéa guided by intermedia studies
Lispector. Interart. Language. Musical. Image. Resistance.
This study examines the transposition of the literary text A hora da estrela, by Clarice Lispector, into the musical A hora da estrela ou O canto de Macabéa, by director André Paes Leme, in the context of the centenary of the author's birth in 2020. The analysis focuses on concepts such as language, otherness, image and resistance. Clarice Lispector's work is brought into the context of the Brazilian reality, marked by the rise of the extreme right in Brazil in the period from 2018 to 2022. An attempt is made to show that interdiscursive analysis in the light of interart and intermedia studies calls for new approaches to issues of language and fictional traits of the author that allow us to both update the social denunciation contained in the work and suggest the presence of the author herself on the scene through her protagonist.
