Nelson Rodrigues By Himself, with Fernanda Montenegro, at the Village Mall Theatre

Actress Fernanda Montenegro returns to the stage with a dramatic reading of the work Nelson Rodrigues By Himself, playing at the VillageMall Theatre. The project is based on the same name book organized by Sônia Rodrigues, daughter of the playwright, which gathers reflections, interviews and texts of the author, sewing a self-portrait between personal life and the artistic production of one of the most influential names of the Brazilian dramaturgy.

Montenegro is responsible for organizing and interpreting the passages of reading, respecting Nelson's provocative spirit, which always rejected traditional memorialism and claimed that all fiction was essentially autobiographical.

Considered the main tragic author of the national scene — and for many, the country’s greatest playwright — Nelson Rodrigues was also a chronicler, sports journalist, political commentator and central figure in the Brazilian public debate throughout the 20th century. In his chronicles, especially in the 1960s, he transformed everyday situations into reflections of epic tone, full of humor, social criticism and observations on human behavior.
