THE STAR TIME by Eleonora Aira


creation and interpretation: Eleonora Aira (Argentina)

creation and direction: Paulina Almeida (Portugal)


The performance is based on Clarisse Lispector’s novel “A hora da estrela” (1977), the novel's main symbol is the death: the living death – not just the biological death but the death that makes our hearts beat when we dance, when we love, when we laugh sing and scream – when there is social flux, movement.

It is composed by using the language of clown, physical theatre and butoh on an integration of the body in image and senses.


It contains in it the identity of south American women solitude and difficulties to rise and integration society when coming from poor social life background.


This performance is an approximation focused on the dialog between reality and delirium. Is about the solitude that (even with a research for social) we are all given to.
