Book, Oedipus Rex by Sophocles[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. Talking about the scenic power of Oedipus the King, his performance in a theater in action, is, here, in Brazil, considering it mainly in Portuguese, that is, in a translation and in what it shows itself capable of not only restoring, but also of vivify, when placed on the lips of an actor who expresses himself in this language and who must make his gesture speak, his representative language in this same language, without losing the relationship with the original speech, in this case Greek. And this is precisely one of Trajano Vieira's fundamental concerns in his remarkable transcription of Sophocles' play, which is part of Editora Perspectiva's Signs Collection. [J. Guinsburg]
