The metaphor of the world as a stage has been present in human imagination for centuries. This can be seen in the artistic and philosophical works from Cicero to Shakespeare: the world is representation. This study aims to examine, in an interdisciplinary way, the ramifications of the metaphors of the theatre and the cinema, exploring the space of the metropolis. The corpus for the study consists of the novel City of Glass by Paul Auster (1999) and the filmic narrative Synecdoche New York by Charlie Kaufman (2008). To this end, we present theorists of the metaphor, having as the main source Hans Blumenberg, the founder of Metaphorology, Paul Ricoeur and Derrida, especially the studies that focus on this figure of speech. Metaphors, however, take place in a certain space, the metropolis, and to be guided in their ways, we elected the new cultural geography researchers, Paul Claval, Mathias Le Bossé and Denis Cosgrove among them. For the relation between the city and the theatre, we consider the creation story of the western theatre as the main starting point for the ramifications of such mimicry. To study the specific space of the metropolis, we count on Walter Benjamin and his followers. Benjaminian studies will also be of vital importance for our understanding of the relationship between the cinema and the metropolis. That relationship has also been explained in Nietzche s questioning of the truth. It was not our intention to compare the works analyzed here in their narratology plans and techniques. Rather, we aimed at relating two texts governed by similar but yet different codes and artistic procedures. We seek to show how theatrical and cinematic relations in the metropolis, fragmented as the man lost in it, cause a suspension of the border between reality and fiction
