DAS SOMBRAS AOS SONS: UMA ANÁLISE DO FILME VERMELHO COMO CÉU À LUZ DA PERSPECTIVA PIAGETIANA

The film Vermelho como céu, directed by Cristiano Bortone (2007), portrays a striking episode from the childhood of Mirco, an Italian boy who, after losing his vision in an accident, faces significant challenges and makes fundamental discoveries about himself and the world. Thistheoretical–conceptual article aims to analyze the film through the lens of thePiagetian perspective and contributions from constructivist Music Education. To this end, four excerpts from the film were selected and examined, focusing on moments that highlight the protagonist’s process of discovery and sound-musical creation, particularly in the exploration of sonic materials, theconstruction of narratives in sound, and the elaboration of meanings throughactive listening. The analysis prioritizes the ways in which engagement with sound-musical creation functions as a cognitive, symbolic, and affective device, enabling the protagonist to reorganize his schemes of action and meaning. Music,understood as a structuring ludic activity, emerges as a central axis of his development, directly connected to processes of learning, adaptation, andschool inclusion. By integrating the aesthetic dimension with a constructivist perspective, the article underscores the formative power of music as an active,creative, and cooperative experience in the construction of knowledge.
