The Hour of the Star

Based on the acclaimed novel by Clarice Lispector.

Tender, unsettling, and unexpectedly funny, The Hour of the Star is a bold new theatrical adaptation of Clarice Lispector’s masterpiece — one of the most influential novels in modern Brazilian literature.

Macabéa, a young Brazilian immigrant lost in the noise of the modern city, moves through life almost unnoticed — working, dreaming, loving badly, surviving quietly. But as her story unfolds, the man narrating her existence becomes increasingly consumed by her: by her innocence, her loneliness, and the terrifying realization that some people pass through the world without ever truly being seen.
