  Abstract:  

The article offers a description and analysis of the intercultural approach director and scholar Cláudia Tatinge Nascimento investigated as she directed productions of Brazilian playwright Nelson Rodrigues’ works in the United States. While in the tragedy Lady of the Drowned Tatinge Nascimento evoked Brazilian religious syncretism, she drew from well-known elements of the carnivalesque and drag to stage the comedy The Deceased Woman. The author also explains her rationale to combine cutting edge technology and traditional Brazilian performative elements in the performance Pornographic Angel, her original script based on Rodrigues’ short stories. Tatinge Nascimento concludes by introducing her directorial vision for an intercultural staging of the highly poetic Waltz no. 6, Rodrigues’ only monologue.

Keywords: Claudia Tatinge Nascimento, interculturality, brazilian tradition, new technologies
