O Ovo e
a Galinha

O Ovo e a Galinha is a theatrical staging directed by Joana Medeiros, based on Clarice Lispector's short story. Ana Hartmann performs as Clarice as she reads the text and experiences the ideas, images and states it provokes in her own body. The production begins with an egg on a table and follows associations on existence, God, daily life, love and work. It draws on an enigmatic episode in the writer's life: her participation in the 1º Simpósio de Bruxaria de Bogotá in 1975, for which she took O Ovo e a Galinha. Projections, live camera, music and objects manipulated by the performer run through the words. The staging also marks Ana Hartmann's return to Oficina, where she began her career and took part in productions directed by Zé Celso.
