Luzes da Ribalta

 

 

Theatre stage with red curtain

 

“Life’s but a walking shadow; a poor player,

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

And then is heard no more: it is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.”

(Willian Shakespeare, MacBeth, Ato V, Cena V)

 

 

 

                                                           A cortina se rasga

                                                           e me põe em cena

                                                           a contragosto

                                                           num palco mofino.

                                                           Enceguecido

                                                           pelas luzes da ribalta

                                                           tateante

                                                           tartamudo

                                                           guiado pelo ponto

                                                           recôndito

                                                           no proscênio

                                                           enceno

                                                           um texto obscuro

                                                           cheio de barulho e fúria

                                                           significando coisa nenhuma.
