O encenador teatral como leitor forte de Harold Bloom

Abstract

The relationship between theater and literature can be studied through intertextuality, more specifically, the "anxiety of influence" of the american critic Harold Bloom. According to this theory of poetry, every reading is a misreading , an interpretation that departs from the text's meaning. Those who are strong readers can create their own meanings in the texts they read. In this view the procedure should be a twist of the literary text. The director must create their own meanings in the staging and free himself from the purely literary aspect of the work. To prove this, was given to three young directors a tale to be staged. The text of Franz Kafka "Those who pass us by running" requires creative force from the reader who should swerve it to be able to bring it on stage. The distance between the different scenes shows how the personal interpretation influences the scenic realization and, despite they are autonomous art forms, there is a threshold between them.
