Abstract:

Most new migrants choose New Zealand as their second home country because New Zealand provides peaceful, safe and relaxed life style and also quality education compared to their homelands. However, for most migrants, settling down in New Zealand is one of the most dynamic and complex processes in their lives. Many migrants are struggling to adjust to New Zealand because the expression of cultural values is different in New Zealand than in their cultures. As migrants adjust to the new culture, their traditional cultural values are increasingly challenged by New Zealand cultural values leading to some degree of personal change. As a result, most immigrants encounter many unfamiliar cultural values in the initial stage of immigration to a New Zealand culture. This story is about the impact of culture-shock on an ordinary Korean migrant family and their struggle adjusting in a new society.

Abstract:

This Master of Arts project in Creative Writing was submitted to the School of Creative Media at Royal Melbourne University of Technology. It contains a full length feature screenplay for an un-produced road movie entitled Free Radicals. It is primarily a dark love story between the drug-addicted rent boy Roman and the budding actor, the protagonist Jonathan. It is however written in a conventional structure familiar to Hollywood professionals, and a good deal of humour is used to attract interest in the story. The storyline itself is more familiar to the audience of road movies and independent features in the US or European Art House ventures. The exegesis explores the history and the conventions of the road movie genre, in addition to the established and not often debated conventions of screenwriting theory. The thesis attempts to show how these theories were applied to the screenplay and how they influenced the process of writing it within an academic and commercial context. The MA project shows how different expectations may create a conflict in the personal writing process and inspire a product that makes compromises. The reason for reading this project may not only be the product itself but also the insight it offers into a screenwriting profession where it is often important to meet expectations.

Abstract:

Screenplay: A wealthy industrialist, Victor Sanderton, has undergone a life change and set up an 'Institute of Higher Learning' in rural South East Queensland. He invites environmental and other contemporary New Age luminaries to hold workshops, while the attendees get in touch with their roots by planting trees. Victor, however, has not come to terms with his own weaknesses. Aleesha, a young runaway, distracts him from his higher purpose. Matt, one of his employees, thinks he sees in this an opportunity to enrich himself at Victor's expense. The situation is further complicated when a private detective, Helen Cox, is employed by Aleesha's mother to search for her. Logline: The ones who think they're strong are most at risk. Exegesis: While the narrative structures employed in the novel form have developed freely over the last century, in mainstream film they have remained relatively static. Even though film is predominantly a visual medium, and therefore suffers from an inherent shallowness, more complex narrative models can present opportunities for film to better mirror the human condition.

Abstract:

Parade's End, a screenplay accompanied by an exegesis exploring institutional and ideological violence within the war film genre. The problem to solve with my exegesis and subsequent screenplay was how to create a unique visual form for the treatment of violence. This was done by examining screenwriting techniques that have been used to explore the psychology of violence and aggression within the war film genre. I identified and examined those techniques used to depict vioence within the war film genre, specifically those discussed by film theorist Stephen Prince. Stephen Prince in Savage cinema: Sam Peckinpah and the rise of ultraviolent movies in America examines the cultural and subsequent technical shifts that occurred in the late sixties towards the treatment of violence in contemporary cinema. He focuses on specific techniques that he believes radicalised the depiction of vioence and its aftermath in the cinematic form. In Visions of empire: political image ry in contemporary American film, Prince examines those techniques that he believed explored the political dimensions of violence. A primary consideration of my research then was how to integrate the techniques under discussion in ways that will help create a convincing form the for depiction of violence for a contemporary screen audience. A major outcome of my investigation and exploration of Prince's techniques, was to sustain within my screenplay the audience's gaze at a disturbing mirror, and probe an audience's ambivalent response to contemporary social currents. Through the demystification of the Special Forces soldier, it was my intention to depict vioence and aggression in striking and original ways.

Abstract:

The following is an original screenplay about Maturity set in the mode of a Summer Romance. It is structured like the classic Joseph Campbell Monomyth. However, it offers a commentary on the unchanging nature of people by utilizing non-linear storytelling and inverting the typical hero’s journey narrative by having the protagonist end up, more or less, where he began. Key moments and story beats are taken from classic hero’s journeys and refashioned to fit the scale and time periods. Collin Williams does not cross the threshold into a magical new land but instead into the fantastical realm of Rock and Roll, he does not vanquish his foe by the sword, and he does not save a beautiful maiden, but the story is structured so that these events are adapted into their more logical real world parallels. All the while he is tempted by his love interest Liz and belittled by the “too cool for school” Billy James. Characters are molded from universal archetypes including the sage, jester, warrior, and king. Each has an arc that illuminates how these one dimensional approaches to life come into conflict with maturity. The screenplay takes advantage of the multi-tiered method of storytelling unique to cinema through heavy and deliberate inclusion of specific sounds and music. Repeated visual motifs and symbols also feature prominently with references to other revered journeys of self discovery and lifestyle philosophies.

Abstract:

This screenplay dramatizes the controversial career of German film maker Leni Riefenstahl during ten years of her association with the Nazi Party. Beginning with the premiere of her first film in 1932, this account chronicles her rise as a film director of such films as Triumph of the Will and Olympia to her arrest after World War II on charges that she had been a Nazi sympathizer. Besides delineating the character and talents of Leni Riefenstahl, this screenplay addresses the difficult question of the relationship between politics and art.

Abstract:

The research undertaken as the requirements of the degree is an analysis, evaluation and application of the usefulness of the substructures contained in the classic Thriller screenplay. The research identifies tools and techniques that the screenwriter can apply to the construction of a classically structured Thriller. These tools and techniques have been applied to the creation of an original feature length screenplay entitled Magnetic Fields. The substructures explored in this exegesis are those identified by screen theorist Dr Lisa Dethridge as being essential to the screenplay form, irrespective of genre. They are the premise, protagonist, dramatic problem and plot. The research identifies and defines each of these elements and examines for how they operate in the classic Thriller screenplay. Screen theorist and Thriller genre expert Neill D Hicks provides the theoretical structure for the classic Thriller. A case study, Heavenly Creatures (1994) written by Fran Walsh and Peter Jackson, illustrates the discussion of these substructures. The theories of Dethridge and Hicks are compared and evaluated for their usefulness in the construction of the original screenplay, Magnetic Fields. The story is loosely based on a true crime and the challenge in construction this screenplay was the process of identifying and employing the key conventions and techniques of the Thriller genre. Operating within the conventions of the classic Thriller enables the writer to address the requirements of both industry and audience. The film industry requires that a screenplay adhere to a number of standards relating to its format, length and the organisation of content. The audience, or the reader of the screenplay also has expectations. If a film is labelled a Thriller, the audience expects the story to provoke suspense and fear. They will expect to be thrilled. For the screenwriter to achieve this effect the research aims to prove the benefits of adhering to the structural conventions of the classic Thriller film.

Abstract:

The art and science of crafting superior stories for feature film, television, and computer graphics productions, for both local and international purposes alike, are extremely important. In the artistic sense, this is a glimpse at the key elements in creating successful characters, stories, and environments. In the technical sense, it is a review on how to write a professional screenplay, as well as a comparison between different mediums, methods, and styles of writing. In order to conduct this research and accomplish said goals, material from a variable set of sources, including work by acclaimed authors, as well as professional screenplays and personal experience within the subject was used. The initial hypothesis that was put forth, proved in the end to become the overall result. Although being a field more inclined towards art than science, some of the answer and results came to fall within individual conclusions and opinions, rather than technical facts, as writing is different in style and nature to each and every screenwriter.

Abstract:

This practice-led PhD project consists of two sections: the first examines a breakdown of the components of film genre to be used as practical guideposts for my own creative practice as a screenwriter and (hopefully in the future) for other screenwriters; the second section contains my practical application – first acts of three screenplays that are constructed utilizing my research and subsequent assessments. Using a theoretic construct presented in the area of philosophy in the 1990s by cognitive theorist Gilles Fauconnier called ‘mental space’, a concept exploring a person’s natural inclination to construct a comprehensible idealized cognitive model (ICM) of any given situation in order to understand his or her role in it (Fauconnier 1994:8), I examine how Fauconnier’s concept can be applied to building a film narrative and specifically how it can be applied to a screenwriter’s understanding and breaking down of the components of film genre. I also employ the work of scholars focused on the audience’s reception, especially the reception of film genre. In the practical section of my practice-led PhD, the writing of the first acts of three screenplays that share location, similar core cast of characters and plot points but are constructed in three distinctly different film genres (western, horror, romantic comedy), I endeavor to apply elements I have termed the ‘mental space of film genre’ in order to determine the adjustments and changes necessary to move narrative from one genre to another in order to fulfill various genre perimeters and genre expectations. This work is meant to increase a screenwriter’s technical skills in the craft of screenwriting.

Abstract:

A screenplay is sometimes said to be a blueprint for a film, and its genesis and development is therefore important to our understanding of how films are created. Film business studies has traditionally avoided close study of the screenplay development process, perhaps as a result of the film studies emphasis on analysing the text of the completed film, and the auteur theory emphasis on the importance of the director; both of which may have marginalised the study of development and the creativity of development practitioners. Professional screenplay development is a team activity, with creative collaboration between screenwriters, producers, development executives, financiers, and directors. So how does power and creative control shift between members of this team, especially as people arrive or leave? And how does this multiple authorship affect the auteur theory idea that the director is the creative author of the film? This research sets out to open debates around the process and nature of the business of script development, and consider how development practitioners experience, collaborate and participate in the process of screenplay development in the UK today. It uses original interviews, observation and hermeneutic reflection; and asks how cross-disciplinary ideas around creativity, managing creative people, motivation, organisational culture, and team theory could be used to consider how the creative team of writer, producer, director and development executive can work effectively together. It proposes new theories, including defining the independent film value chain and the commitment matrix, analysing changing power relationships during development, and establishing new typologies around film categories and their relationship to funding. The core of this PhD by Prior Publication is the book The Screenplay Business: managing creativity and script development in the film industry. The supporting paper explores the contexts of film industry studies; the film value chain; auteurship and screenplay studies.

Abstract:

The thesis is a ten-page analysis on two films, Fatal Attraction and Lakeview Terrace. The thesis begins with a brief introduction to the horror genre and its subgenre in which the two films and original screenplay are categorized, psychological horror. It covers all the important elements of a film and screenplay: conflict, arc, goal, structure and plot. The thesis also consists of feminists’ reactions to Fatal Attraction, and examines whether the original 60- page screenplay helps or worsens the image of women. The screenplay also raises the question if having the villains need to be insane to prove a point. Further in the thesis is a description of the original screenplay Crimes of Passion and its main characters Jennifer, Alex and Keith. Jennifer, the heroine, becomes the target of scorned lover and police officer Keith. Alex, Keith’s rival, must protect Jennifer. The analysis ends with the restated questions the audience must have in mind and answer while reading the screenplay.

Abstract:

Monster Business is a feature film project comprising a horror-thriller feature screenplay and an accompanying exegesis. The screenplay is about a best-selling author who is behind on the delivery of the sequel to his money-spinning first novel and is made an offer by an enigmatic stranger to help rearrange his working environment to facilitate the rapid completion of the manuscript. Over the coming hours, then months, the author discovers just how far the stranger will go to complete the terms of this bizarre and brutal new contract. This accompanying exegesis examines a series of 'paratexts' (a logline, a one-pager and a treatment) that the screenplay has given rise to. The thesis argues that the role of the screenwriter does not end with the production of the core text--the screenplay. Instead, in order to support the development and/or the marketing of the script into a feature film, the screenwriter is an ongoing generator of supplemental documents or paratexts. The paper explores the status and function of paratexts (loglines, onepagers, treatments and explanatory development notes). It further argues that developmental paratexts are a necessary evil, providing a sifting or culling mechanism for producers and production executives, and that they are intended to guide a project toward being 'greenlit' but will more often have, at best, benign or, at worst, negative or destructive effects on its development. In this way, developmental paratexts, although ubiquitous and pro forma, are inherently problematic.

Abstract:

Depuis une vingtaine d’années, le scénario américain s’est imposé comme modèle du scénario de fiction auprès des acteurs de la production de cinéma et de télévision pour sa performance et sa rationalité narratives. Conçu pour assurer au film de fiction le maximum de chance de succès, il subordonne la création audiovisuelle à un dispositif narratif assurant l’identification du spectateur et sa satisfaction émotionnelle. Or, eu égard à une ambition artistique du cinéma, sa légitimité est problématique. La présente recherche développe une alternative à la formalisation narrative du film à travers un mode de scénarisation qui subordonne la narration au discours filmique. L’identification au personnage y compte moins que l’expression d’une vision-audition du monde
Since about twenty years, the American screenplay stood out as model of the script of fiction into cinema and TV production for its narrative performance and its rationality. Designed to insure public success to fiction movies, it subordinates the audiovisual creation to the narrative device, insuring identification of the spectator and its emotional satisfaction. But, in consideration of the artistic ambition of the cinema, its legitimacy is problematic. The present research develops an alternative in the narrative formalization of the movie through a mode of « scénarisation » which subordinates the story to the cinematic discourse. The identification of spectator to the character matters there less than the expression of a vision-hearing of the world

Abstract:

Sense and Sensibility (1811), o primeiro romance publicado de Jane Austen, foi transposto para o cinema em 1995, conferindo seis prêmios de melhor diretor a Ang Lee e dezenove a Emma Thompson, oito como melhor atriz e onze pelo melhor roteiro adaptado. Nesta dissertação eu apresento minha leitura da transposição feita por Emma Thompson do romance de Jane Austen, focando especialmente na maneira em que os personagens principais são transpostos para a tela. Para isso, utilizo três apoios, o texto do roteiro, os diários de Thompson e as performances dos atores. Em cada um desses eixos foram feitas escolhas que merecem ser investigadas, revelando o processo pelo qual o trabalho original se molda às regras da nova mídia e ao público pretendido. Atenção especial é dada aos recursos usados na transposição dos personagens do romance para o filme. O lastro teórico-crítico da pesquisa se apoia nos estudos de Linda Hutcheon sobre adaptação e nos textos de Gerald Mast e Christian Metz sobre a linguagem cinematográfica. A dissertação vem estruturada em duas partes. A primeira, dividida em três seções, apresenta os elementos de contextualização necessários para a discussão empreendida no trabalho. A primeira seção trata sobre o filme produzido em 1995 e sobre Ang Lee, responsável pela direção do mesmo. A segunda seção retraça alguns referentes do romance Sense and Sensibility e sua autora, Jane Austen. A terceira seção considera o processo de criação e adaptação do roteiro de Emma Thompson. A segunda parte do trabalho enfoca as escolhas de transposição, em especial no que diz respeito ao tratamento dos personagens. Ao término da pesquisa, espero identificar os traços que caracterizam Thompson como leitora diferenciada de Austen, e explicitar fatores que motivam as escolhas favorecidas no processo de transposição analisado.
Sense and Sensibility (1811), the first novel published by Jane Austen, was transposed to the movies in 1995, granting six awards to Ang Lee as best director and nineteen to Emma Thompson, eight as best actress and eleven for best adapted screenplay. In this thesis, I present my reading of Emma Thompson´s reading of Jane Austen´s novel, focusing mainly on the way the major characters are transposed into the screen. In order to do that, I direct the analysis from three cornerstones, the text of the screenplay, Thompson’s diaries, and the actors’ performances. In each of these instances choices that deserve to be investigated have been made, which reveal the process through which the original work molds itself to the rules of the new media and to the audience it is intended. Special attention is given to the resources used in the transposition of the characters from the novel into the film. The theoretical support of the research is based on Linda Hutcheon’s studies on adaptation, and on Gerald Mast’s and Christian Metz’s texts about filmic language. This thesis is composed in two parts. Part one comes divided into three sections, and presents the contextualization necessary for the discussion held in the work. The first section introduces the film produced in 1995, and Ang Lee, responsible for its direction. The second retraces some referents from the novel Sense and Sensibility and its author, Jane Austen. The third considers Emma Thompson´s process of creation and adaptation of the screenplay. Part two focuses on the choices made in the transposition, especially the ones regarding the treatment of the characters. At the end of this research, I hope to identify the traces that characterize Thompson as a differentiated reader of Austen, and show the factors that motivate the favored choices in the analyzed transposition process.

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to investigate how the female characters of the Swedish novel The Serious Game (Den allvarsamma leken) by Hjalmar Söderberg (1912) are represented in the film adaptation from 2016, a film adaptation by Pernilla August (director). The thesis also asks what the adapted screenplay by Lone Scherfig can reveal about how the novel’s characters are transformed through the adaptation process. The study has two main purposes: (1) to investigate the film adaptation as a process by considering the adapted screenplay as an interstitial and at the same time autonomous work bridging the novel and the final film, and (2) to investigate how the specific form and structure of the screenplay, as well as contextual and industrial aspects are of some significance for the representation of the female characters in the final film. The analysis of the female characters’ transformation through the adaptation process uses a combination of screenwriting theory and adaptation theory in order to explore the relationship between the novel, the adapted screenplay and the final film. One of the main conclusions of the study is that the male characters of the novel are transformed into being oppressive towards the female characters in more direct manners. As a result, the female characters liberation is somewhat transformed into a liberation from individual men rather than from vast structural, political or legal oppressions. It also shows that this representation of the novels characters gradually transforms according to this tendency in the adaptation process. The study also shows how the screenplay can be seen as a textual context in film adaptation. Full English title: “In, I long to get in. The women’s journey through the adaptation process of The Serious Game 2016”
Det finns många studier som undersöker filmadaptioner, det vill säga när till exempel en roman blir till film. Traditionellt sett undersöks då framför allt relationen mellan den färdiga filmen och dess ursprungliga förlaga, romanen. Den här uppsatsen utforskar istället filmadaption som en process, och det genom att se till en mellanliggande text som ofta har förbisetts inom adaptionsstudier, filmmanuset. I min analys vill jag, till skillnad från i många tidigare adaptionsanalyser som behandlar filmmanus, se filmmanuset som en ”färdig” eller åtminstone självständig text som kan analyseras i relation till en förlaga eller film utan att på samma gång upp- eller nervärdera dess betydelse eller status som ett eget verk. I syfte att belysa filmmanus som ett relevant studieobjekt inom adaptionsstudier analyseras den danska manusförfattaren Lone Scherfigs filmmanus Den allvarsamma leken i relation till förlagan, Hjalmar Söderbergs roman från 1912, och filmadaptionen från 2016, i regi av Pernilla August. Syftet är också att utifrån filmskaparnas uttalade ambition att lyfta fram romanens kvinnor, undersöka hur detta har gjorts, och det genom att analysera de kvinnliga rollfigurernas ”resa” genom adaptionsprocessen. Inspirerad av diskussioner inom den aktuella adaptionsforskningen, där nya teoretiska ingångar och analysmetoder uppmuntras, prövar jag en kombination och tillämpning av adaptions- och manusteori. Detta med målet att kunna behandla filmmanuset som ett betydelsefullt och mellanliggande steg i en adaptionsprocess, och samtidigt som en egen självständig text – filmmanuset som en adaption av romanen, och filmen som en adaption av filmmanuset. Analysen visar att framställningen av Den allvarsamma lekens rollfigurer har genomgått en successiv omformning under adaptionsprocessen – först i överföringen från roman till filmmanus, och därefter från filmmanus till film. Dessutom visar det sig att rollfigurernas successiva omformning har skett enlig en tendens liknande den som adaptionsforskaren Liora Brosh tidigare uppmärksammat i filmadaptioner av viktoriansk litteratur, som till exempel Svindlande Höjder och Jane Eyre. Brosh ser hur det förtryck som den viktorianska litteraturens kvinnor utsätts för har omformats i filmadaptionerna, bland annat genom att romanernas manliga karaktärer framställts som mer ondsinta eller våldsamma än i romanerna. Uppsatsen uppmärksammar också att filmmanus kan ses som ett slags textuell kontext inom filmadaption eftersom den västerländska filmens berättarstruktur enligt flera film- och filmmanusforskare till stor del formats av de strikta berättartekniska konventioner som förmedlats via otaliga filmmanushandböcker under de senaste hundra åren.

Abstract:

One of the most important parts in the development stage of filmmaking is writing a screenplay. Weeb‐Con is a thirty‐two‐page action comedy screenplay. After an anime convention in Galveston, Texas, is forcefully taken over by armed robbers in creepy, badlymade fursuits, it is up to Dolores “Dolly” Lopez, a Lolita who must lead the convention attendees ‐ including her family and her fat pitbull Butterball ‐ and make them band together. Dolly is something of a perfectionist loner; but, with the help of her new friends Seymour, a cowardly nerd, and Boyd, a stoner who is smarter than he looks, she will be able to learn about the importance of friendship and working together and save everyone.

Abstract:

La tesi indaga le caratteristiche strutturali dei film di genere biografico prodotti nel contesto del cinema statunitense e della televisione italiana. Riconosciuto nel fatto che il personaggio protagonista è costruito ad imitazione della persona realmente esistita di cui porta il nome l'aspetto identificativo superficiale del film biografico, viene proposta la seguente, nuova interpretazione: quello biografico è un film la cui struttura drammaturgica esprime sulla forma di vita del proprio personaggio protagonista un giudizio di redenzione o di dannazione.
The dissertation explores the distinctive structural features of the biographical pictures produced by the U.S. film industry and by the Italian TV. Assuming that a biographical picture is a film that dramatizes the life of an actual person, we propose here a new interpretation: in a biographical picture the dramatic structure expresses a judgement of redemption or damnation on the protagonist and his life story.

In this paper we study the crime fiction and film O Invasor, focusing the success partnership between the writer Marçal Aquino and the film director Beto Brant. The path made by novel, screenplay and film was different from the usual, because Aquino ended writing the novel in 2002, after the release of the film in 2001. As primary purpose of this paper, we intend to demonstrate how the characters Ivan, Anísio, Giba/Alaor are developed in both novel and film. Therefore, this paper was divided in three chapters. First, we study the characters in the novel and in the screenplay, and their relations that give them verisimilitude. After that, we analyze the development of characters in cinema and the point of view that, in a movie, is determined by the camera and its movements. Furthermore, we present several aspects of film narrative, identifying those with great importance to the story development. Finally, we discuss about the main characteristics of crime fiction and film, as well as the relation between crime fiction and film in Brazil. About noir fiction and film, we examine their origins, influences and more relevant aspects to understand the novel written by Aquino.
Neste trabalho abordamos o romance e o filme policial O Invasor, destacando uma parceria de sucesso entre o romancista Marçal Aquino e o cineasta e diretor Beto Brant. O caminho entre romance, roteiro e filme foi transcorrido de forma diferente do habitual, pois Aquino finalizou a escrita do romance em 2002 após o lançamento do filme que ocorreu em 2001. Temos como objetivo principal do estudo em questão mostrar como as personagens Ivan, Anísio e Giba/Alaor são construídas no romance e no filme. Para tanto, o presente trabalho foi divido em três partes. Primeiramente, abordamos a questão das personagens no romance e no roteiro cinematográfico e as relações que lhe conferem verossimilhança. Depois tratamos da construção da personagem no cinema e do foco narrativo que, em um filme, é definido pela câmera e seus movimentos. Apresentamos também diversos aspectos da narrativa fílmica, identificando aqueles que possuem maior destaque para o desenvolvimento da história. Por fim, discorremos sobre as principais características do romance e do filme policial, bem como a relação entre literatura e cinema policial no Brasil. Quanto ao romance e ao filme policial noir, destacamos suas origens, influências e aspectos mais relevantes para situarmos o romance escrito por Marçal Aquino.

Structuration of the creation process of the text of the play “The Three Thread Makers”. The theme is the artistic making of actresses-storytellers, the lace makers of bilro (a Brazilian kind of artisanal bobbin), the legends of the town of Raposa from the metropolitan area of São Luís-MA, and the three Moiras of Greek mythology: Atropos, Láquesis and Clotho. The process of creation took place through collaborative theater with the playwright present in the rehearsals, in the assembly process and in the presentations, with no hierarchies of functions between the professionals involved. This process lasted about three years, from 2012 to 2015, with its debut in March 2015. The study is divided into three chapters in which the process of costume making, weaving, cutting, sewing and adjusting are used as metaphors to signal each stage of the text making: the research, the construction of the fable, the treatment of the text and the changes in the text throughout rehearsals, assembly and presentation. Interdisciplinary research promotes a dialogue between cinema (script and editing) and theater, with a greater emphasis on dramaturgy, also covering acting, direction and set design. Then it is highlightened the figure of the playwright as a writer-rhapsode, who works with junctions and disjunctions of textual forms, and also - extending the concept coined by Sarrazac (1981) -, who writes on the basis of multiple informations, propositions and discoveries from the creation process.
A dissertação aqui apresentada tem como objetivo principal estruturar o processo de criação do texto do espetáculo As Três Fiandeiras. A obra tem como tema o fazer artístico de atrizes-contadoras de história, as rendeiras de Bilro, as lendas da cidade da Raposa pertencente à zona metropolitana de São Luís-MA e as três Moiras da mitologia grega: Átropos, Láquesis e Cloto. O processo de criação se deu por via do teatro colaborativo com o dramaturgo presente nos ensaios, no processo de montagem e nas apresentações, não havendo hierarquias das funções entre o profissionais envolvidos. Esse processo durou cerca de três anos, de 2012 até 2015, com estreia em março de 2015. O estudo se divide em três capítulos nos quais o processo de confecção da roupa, a tecelagem, o corte, a costura e o ajustes são utilizados como metáforas para sinalizar cada etapa da confecção do texto: a pesquisa, a construção da fábula, o tratamento do texto e as mudanças do texto ao longo dos ensaios, montagem e apresentação. A pesquisa interdisciplinar promove um diálogo entre o cinema (roteiro e montagem) e o teatro, com tônica maior na dramaturgia, abrangendo também a atuação, a direção e a cenografia. Destaca-se então a figura do dramaturgo como escritor-rapsodo, que trabalha com junções e disjunções de formas textuais e, também - estendendo o conceito cunhado por Sarrazac (1981) -, que escreve a partir de múltiplas informações, proposições e descobertas provindas do processo de criação.
