Brazilian and Portuguese Theater
Actors will present play-readings and scholars will present papers at a Yale conference on "Staging Brazilian and Portuguese Theater" taking place Friday and Saturday, Nov. 10 and 11.
Students from the School of Drama will perform a staged reading in English of "Three of Hearts" ("Coracao na Boca"), a Brazilian romantic drama by contemporary playwright Francisco Azevedo. The performance will take place on Friday at 4 p.m. in Sudler Auditorium of William L. Harkness Hall, 100 College St. Azevedo will be on hand to discuss his work and its similarities to popular Brazilian TV "novelas."
The Provincetown, Massachusetts, Theater Company will produce a staged reading of a classic Portuguese play, Gil Vicente's (1465-1536) discovery comedy "The India Play" ("Auto da India"), on Saturday in Sudler Auditorium at 6:30 p.m. Vicente's farce, only recently translated into English, tells of a wife who enjoys the high life while her husband is off in Asia with the fleet.
Scholars of Brazilian and Portuguese theater will present papers on Friday and Saturday afternoon in the Romance Languages Lounge, 82-90 Wall St., 2-5 p.m. A reception will follow the talks on Friday at 6 p.m. in the lounge.
All events are free of charge and open to the public. The conference is sponsored by the Yale Center for International and Area Studies, the Council on Latin American and Iberian Studies, the Kempf Fund, and the Portuguese division of the Theater Studies and Spanish and Portuguese Departments.
