In the monologue "Autobiografia do Vermelho," Bianca Comparato presents a character transformation as she becomes Gerião, a red-skinned winged monster. The performance, currently being staged at Sesc Avenida Paulista in São Paulo, delves deep into the complexities of love and the inevitable pains that accompany it. The story takes an innovative approach by juxtaposing the monster's longing for love with the tragic elements of mortality and existence.

The monologue is based on the book by Anne Carson, a prominent North American writer renowned for her contributions to literature as a poet, professor, and translator of classical Greek literature. Carson's work, which draws heavily from mythology, serves as a rich backdrop for Comparato's performance, allowing her to navigate themes of identity, longing, and the human experience through the lens of a mythical creature. The adaptation brings forth a contemporary interpretation while paying homage to its literary roots.

As Comparato paints her face red and embodies the character, she invites the audience into a world where love transcends the boundaries of life and death, making it a poignant exploration of what it means to desire and to suffer. This performance not only broadens the scope of theatrical expression in Brazil but also showcases how classical literature can inspire modern artistic endeavors, thereby enriching the cultural dialogue within local society.
