Marina Carr, Epic tragedy, iGirl, Hecuba, Girl on an AltarResumo
Este artigo examina o gênero da “tragédia épica” em duas das mais recentes adaptações da tragédia grega por Marina Carr, Hécuba (2015) e Girl on an Altar (2022), bem como sua inversão para produzir um “épico trágico” em iGirl (2021). Na Poética, Aristóteles estabelece uma distinção clara entre os gêneros épico e tragédia. No entanto, essa distinção tem sido desafiada ao longo da história em práticas dramáticas – nas peças trágicas de Eurípides e Shakespeare, por exemplo – e teorias – principalmente pelo surgimento do teatro épico cunhado por Bertolt Brecht. Com base em todas essas tradições, este artigo destaca o processo de Carr de “epicização” da tragédia por meio da implementação de uma nova forma de discurso dramático e da dramatização de uma narrativa em vez de um enredo em Hécuba e Girl on an Altar. Essas estratégias influenciaram a criação de iGirl, que é um épico pós-moderno levado ao palco pelas lentes da tragédia.
