Brazilian artist Bruna Fachetti is set to debut a powerful one-woman adaptation of Clarice Lispector’s acclaimed novella, "The Hour of the Star" in this world premiere. This deeply personal production, directed by Alex Tietre, brings to life the story of Macabéa, a young woman from Brazil’s Northeast , and explores themes of identity, poverty, and belonging. This production will be performed at The Broadwater July 25 to August 1st.
Audiences will witness Fachetti embodying six different characters, merging narration with performance to illuminate an overlooked life on stage. In keeping with the themes of the work, the production
incorporates recycled materials into its costume and scenic design. This creative choice supports sustainability while embodying the soul of the story. Macabéa exists on the margins—overlooked, undervalued, and nearly invisible. By transforming discarded materials into scenography and props, the production visually reflects her condition, demonstrating that what society casts aside can still hold meaning, beauty, and life.
