SUMMARY:

This research aims to study audio description for theater and the language of stage lighting. The objective is to analyze the poetics of theatrical light, as a visual language of space-time, aiming to develop audio description scripts. In summary, I argue that understanding these attributes of stage lighting are fundamental for theatrical audio description. To this end, I present two studies that observe light in theater as a structurer of space-time in two theatrical plays. Based on these studies, I created a literacy proposal on the visual language of light, aimed at people with and without visual impairments interested in audio description. The qualitative approach methodology is structured from the perspective of exploratory and procedural research, carried out in two steps. In the first, I survey the verbal utterances related to the space-time performance of light, collected from the audio description script, for the classic dramatic opera Rigoletto by Giuseppe Verdi, staged at the Municipal Theater of São Paulo in 2019, with audio description by Lívia Motta, Wagner Caruso and Felipe Monteiro; and the dramaturgical text of the comedy A Invenção do Nordeste, by Henrique Fontes and Pablo Capistrano, which was produced by Grupo Carmin in Natal/RN, in 2017, and was directed by Quitéria Kelly. Such stagings exemplify the categories of dramatic and epic-narrative representation in modern theater. The second step involves run the extension course: The lights and the words: an immersion in the audio description of theatrical lighting, in a remote format, with 20 hours and thirty vacancies. In the course, the poetics of light is approached as a semiotic set that interconnects space and time, mediated by the functional handling of light in these stagings. The theoretical foundations are structured around the concepts proposed by Mikhail Bakhtin: Chronotope (Bakhtin, 2020a); (Bakhtin, 2021) and Utterance (Bakhtin, 2020b), to think about how the visual statements of light, observed as signs of space-time in a performance, can be recreated. Bakhtin’s concepts are articulated with the propositions of Jorge Dubatti (2016), about the relevant role that spectatorial activity implies for the interpretation of the meanings, of theatrical poiesis and the semiotic elements that compose them. The extracts collected from the texts related to the stagings and the dialogic processes developed in the extension course are evaluated by exposing the ways of understanding these space-time statements of theatrical light, mediated by audio description. It is hoped that this study will contribute to expanding the presence and relevance of verbal recreations of this theatrical language, for the enjoyment of visually impaired audiences.
