Created from eight short stories published by Clarice Lispector in Jornal do Brasil between 1967 and 1973, the show presents childhood memories and daydreams of all ages through Clarice’s texts, such as: Felicidade Clandestina; Restos do Carnaval; Come, Meu Filho; Uma Esperança; Sou Uma Pergunta; Das Vantagens de ser Bobo; Se Eu Fosse Eu and Brincar de Pensar. The play was conceived and directed by Vanessa Bruno with the collaborative creation of the actors Isabel Wilker, Livia Vilela, and Cesar Genaro. The show is an invitation to imagine, to ask, to remember, to doubt, to understand and to feel through Clarice Lispector’s words in a mise en scène that uses videos, music and games proposed by the actors. Created to welcome parents and children, the show is especially suitable for kids from the age of 8, who are already in contact with reading and writing.
