Programação & Caderno de Resumospoems. They relate to rough pen sketches by the poet as wellas to his explorations of caves in Southern France, which traditionalsensibilities would hardly accept as “art”. It is however undeniablethat media are involved in both cases, which justifies intermedialanalyses of the relationships involved in Eshleman´s creations.Other intermedial analyses, similarly illustrated by reproductionsof pertinent photos, will focus on works by two members of theYoung British Artists: Sam Taylor´s video Memento Mori and DamienHirst´s installation Forms without Life.Appropriations of Shakespeare: the intermedial Robert LepageThais F. N. Diniz (UFMG)Peter Brook, Robert Wilson and Robert Lepage are three ofthe most influential figures of present day theatre. Their workattracts large audiences and critical attention around the world.Each has attempted a radical reworking of Shakespeare’s Hamlet,but with different approaches. The aim of this text is to examineone of these reworkings: Robert Lepage’s play, Elsinore, whichis named after Hamlet’s castle. Together with his team, Lepagehas created in Quebec City the Ex Machina, a centre for multiculturalproductions that employs a revolutionary method based on twoimportant aspects: the “recycling” of already existing texts andthe meshing of types of performance art and new technologies.In relation to the first aspect, Elsinore, a one-man show, willbe analysed as an adaptation/appropriation, a work that dependson a canonical text for the theme, characters and ideas uponwhich the spectator is stimulated to participate in the play ofsimilarity and difference perceived between the source and itsreshaping. In relation to the second aspect, that is, the meshingof types of performance art and new technologies, the play willbe analysed based on the technological richness offered by thecontemporary world which he and his team have incorporatedinto the production, resulting a totally intermedial work, by takingintermediality far beyond the traditional mixing of media.146
