Abstract
This article analyses Morada frágil ([1999]/2009), a unique literary-theatrical experiment by the writer, playwright, director and theater theoretician Valère Novarina. At the core of this literary mise-en-scène a vision on the problem of perspective is staged, starting from the Renaissance paradigm of perspective and moving towards a transversal and transtemporal conception of perspective. Through an analysis of the text’s scenography, we intend to comment on the modes of staging that Novarina performs around perspective, a technical, speculative and poetic complex that arises from dialogues between literature, theater and painting. In doing so, we aim to explore a notion of literature theater, conceiving the literary space as a space of productive tensions between writing acts and the composite and ambiguous (im)materiality of the writing medium.
