Seis jogadores à procura de um tabuleiro: bonecos de papel para la cambiale di matrimonio

Abstract

: In order to question the boundaries between artistic languages and the playful character of an operatic spectacle, as suggested by Johan Huizinga, the work, transiting through the field of performing arts and theatrical theory, focuses on the design of the costumes for the La Cambiale di Matrimonio montage of the Ópera na UFRJ project, with a premiere originally scheduled for the first semester of 2020. Once the history of that project and the libretto are presented, the research and the collage movements of references that was made for the idealization of the clothes of the six characters will be debated. In the sequence, the challenges imposed by the pandemic context will be observed. It is argued, without conclusive pretensions, that the experiment, more than the “final product” itself, is a rich case for understanding how potent can be the intertwining of hybrid artistic practices with the transdisciplinarity.
