Uma Luz Cordial

Carolina Bianchi continues her Cadela Força Trilogy, which she began in 2023. After presenting the consequences of rape under sedatives (Chapter I) and the inherent violence of the artistic context (Chapter II), the final chapter, Uma Luz Cordial, moves beyond creation’s brutality. It delves into the very writing process that birthed the Trilogy, navigating the blurred lines between theater and literature, where writing and sexuality intertwine on fiction’s foundation. This disproportionate collage of drafts, notebooks, borrowed words (from Hilda Hilst, Emily Dickinson, and others), and notes exposes writing as a violent act—a confrontation with the enigma of one’s own sexuality. Author and director Carolina Bianchi appears on stage as a dissolving subject, embodying writerly alter egos to explore her fantasies, especially the fantasy of writing itself.
