Sendo assim, apresenta uma poética visual como estratégia interdisciplinar de análise da obra, incluindo a sua versão em filme. A partir de sua contextualização histórico-social na pós-modernidade, tendo por base autores como Zygmunt Bauman e David Harvey, juntamente com a definição, delimitação e contextualização das referências artísticas presentes na peça e no filme, é analisado o modo como as escolhas pictóricas feitas pelo autor interferem no conceito de espaço e suas relações com o tempo, assim como o espaço do livro enquanto elemento de conexão entre espaço e tempo em relação ao espectador-leitor, Listener, Reader e autor.

  • Playwright Brings Theatre to Inner City Kids
    Playwright brings theatre to inner city kids http://www.cjnews.com/culture/arts/playwright-brings-theatre-i... November 10, 2016 - 9 Cheshvan 5777 PLAYWRIGHT BRINGS THEATRE TO INNER CITY KIDS By Amy Grief - November 9, 2016 Adam Seelig, founder of Little Goat Theatre Company. YURI DOJC PHOTO 1 of 4 16-11-09 11:53 PM Playwright brings theatre to inner city kids http://www.cjnews.com/culture/arts/playwright-brings-theatre-i... At the beginning of Adam Seelig’s newest show, PLAY: A (Mini) History of Theatre for Kids, the actors ask the audience, “Who made the first plays in the world?” And they answer: children. “Almost always, we have an audible response from the kids,” says Seelig, an award-winning poet, playwright and director who runs the, Haggadah-inspired (if only in name) One Little Goat Theatre Company. “And then we start to show children that making theatre, making plays, is rooted in the act of playing.” This is Seelig’s, and One Little Goat’s, first play for children. But Seelig has two kids and wanted to create something that would introduce a new generation to the world of theatre. While growing up in Vancouver, he remembers watching as theatre troupes performed in his elementary school. “I think that those performances were among the most influential I ever saw in my life,” he says. Seelig is quick to admit he didn’t write the whole play. He describes it as more of a collaboration or an adaptation since it’s littered with excerpts from well-known sources.

That is, all across this country with its many broken systems. So much injustice cries out for literary attention. Pedlar authors and poets speak to injustices in their work, works of a challenging nature, works that do not accept the status quo, that make no compromise. The house vision is to acquire and promote works of exceptional literary beauty that meet very high standards for excellence in writing while also disturbing the silences regarding the widespread breakdown of social and political systems. We see our effort as a praxis—a social action toward political ends. One literary work of integrity can make a pronounced difference in the lives of many Canadians.
