RESUMO
This dissertation discusses the work of the Canadian director Robert Lepage. It proposes to reflect on his method of bringing specific elements to theater or cinema, creating, through the dialectics between them, a singular and hybrid poetics. A director herself, the dissertation.s author uses as a foundation her own creative process (in the play Ofélia em Off) and her experience as a spectator of Lepage.s works. She then examines Lepage.s memoirs and parts of his personal trajectory, relating their possible repercussions on his work. Focusing on seven theatrical pieces created and directed by Robert Lepage (The Dragon.s Trilogy, Vinci, , Needles and Opium, The Seven Streams Of the River Ota, Elsinore, Geometry of Miracles and The Far side of the Moon), the author analyses Lepage.s unique methods in treating seven elements: language, objects, images, space, words, memory, and games. Examining Lepage.s cinematographic work, via his films Le Polygraphe, Nô, Le Confessional and The Far side of the Moon, the author relates Lepage.s theater to his cinema, bringing together the singularity of his multidisciplinary and hybrid poetics. In her conclusions, the author shows how researching Lepage.s work has resonated in her own artistic praxis and thought, relating Lepage.s harmonic, interdisciplinary poetics and his openness to the audience.s creative participation to a contemporary vision of the world, one that seems to point to the integration of opposites as complementary, dissolving dualities normally seen as irreconcilable
