Roberto Alvim Rereads the Slave-Owning, Oligarchic Heritage of Brazil in Leite Derramado1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 July 2017
Extract
Using Chico Buarque's novel Leite Derramado (Spilt Milk), the director Roberto Alvim perfects his formal system as grand theatre. Nothing is gained by trying to define the place that the protagonist Lalinho occupies in his family, or the years covered in his story over the course of 195 pages in Chico Buarque's novel. In the stage version written and directed by Alvim, generations and eras are embodied by the voice of the actor Juliana Galdino, transfigured in the centenarian Eulálio D'Assumpção. Grandparents, parents and children, who are indistinguishable from the delirium of his hospital bed, populate the schizophrenic dialogue.
