Salmo 91: formas narrativas, adaptação e dramaturgia contemporânea no Brasil

Abstract

This study is focused on the analysis-interpretation of aspects related to new dramatic forms in contemporary Brazilian theater, in order to analyze the play Salmo 91 (Psalm 91, by Dib Carneiro Neto) as an adaptation process of the novel report Estação Carandiru (Carandiru Station, by Drauzio Varella) to the stage. On this reading, the dialogue between the adapted text and his adaptation reveals a new work that shouldn t be understood as an ordinary copy but as a creative act of appropriation / (re-)creation of adapted materials. The adaptation announced such a process results in a dramaturgical form that can be read from the Jean-Pierre Sarrazac s proposals around "rhapsody" in the theater a concept that broadens our understanding of the drama paradigm, especially nowadays. These paths serve to the play s analysis-interpretation in order that it realizes what hatching which Sarrazac calls as a "rhapsodisation" of contemporary drama - a patchwork of dramatic, epic and lyrical elements put together by techniques of juxtaposition, collage or hybridization. This dramaturgical form, in which the boundaries between mimesis and diegesis are tenuous, gives rise to this actor closer to a narrator that exposes the new drama paradigms as an immersive and imaginative process in relation to the audience.
