Nucleo de Dramaturgia - British Council/SESI

I take part in a workshop led by Marici Salamao, who organises the Nucleo de Dramaturgia in collaboration with SESI and the British Council in Sao Paulo. I have listened to several readings of new plays and at the workshop I discuss with Marici new playwrighting in Brazil. There are more new plays in Sao Paulo than in Rio; and Brazil never experienced anything like Britain's new plywrighting explosion centering on the Royal Court in the 60's; at that time and throughout the 70's and 80's new voices were muffled by censorship and the dictatorship. Now there are many new voices and Sao Paulo is where they are heard.
