Hi, how are you? My name is Alan, I am a journalist and this is Ingresse na Arte channel, my culture channel on YouTube.
In this video, I am going to speak about a theater play.
Try to think in a successful woman, who has a happy marriage and three independent children…
She, then, can finally think on her own, on her personal dreams.
however, when she figures out that she has finally a kind of freedom, she asks herself:
"Who am I?" "What are the consequences of the motherhood and the marriage in my life?"
Actress Amanda Lyra gives life to that woman in monologue "Quarto 19", that it is on Teatro do Núcleo Experimental, located in São Paulo, until July 6th.
I have watched this play during its first season at Sesc Pinheiros theater, in São Paulo.
When that woman realizes that she doesn't have any idea of who she is actually, she decides to spend
her free afternoons in a dirty room, The Room 19, located in a hotel in downtown of the city where she lives.
In that place, she does not stop asking herself: "Who Am I?" "What are the consequences of marriage and children in my life?"
During all play, Amanda Lyra shows all that woman drama, that looks so familiar to contemporary women of our society
who have been asking themselves if they should quit her career because of a marriage or to take care their children
"Quarto 19" is directed by Leonardo Moreira, who is also Hiato Company Theater director. "Amadores" and "O Jardim", two Hiato Company Theater plays, are some of the most awarded plays in the latest years.
"Quarto 19" is based on a Doris Lessing short story.
Doris Lessing is a Britain writer and she won a Nobel Prize for literature when she was 88 years old, in 2007.
And the moment when she was told she won a Nobel is very funny. I am going tell and show you how was that.
As soon she was announced as a Nobel winner, some journalists and photographers stayed in front her home in London.
When she gets there from a supermarket by taxi, a journalist asks her if she has been listening the news
She looks like do not understand that question, and then journalist lets her know that she won the literature Nobel.
Doris Lessing, then, says: "Christ!"
She then breathes, pays the taxi driver and, then, she says to journalists…
"Look, I have already won several literature awards in Europe, Nobel Prize is just one more in my career
And, besides that, I do not understand how Nobel organization chooses a writer to award, I do not understand how Swedish people, who looks like does not having a literature tradition, chooses the winners
Doris Lessing wrote several books, including "The Sweetest Dream", that it was released in Brazil by Companhia das Letras.
This book tells the story of a group of young people who believe they can change the world and finish with all injustice in our society in 1960s and 1970s
But, when they face the reality in Africa for example, they realize how hard is that because of the corruption, for instance. So they get disappointed
That is it. In the next video, on Friday, I am going to speak about the documentary "Divinas Divas", directed by Leandra Leal
