Ana Lúcia Torre debuts monologue exploring life and Brazilian history

Actress Ana Lúcia Torre is debuting the monologue ‘Olhos nos olhos’ in Belo Horizonte. Written and directed by Sergio Módena, the play uses the lyrics of Chico Buarque as dramatic text to explore the actress’s personal and political history.

The performance revisits intimate memories, including her childhood, her start in theater, her exile in Europe, and her experiences of imprisonment and persecution during the Brazilian military dictatorship. The production weaves Torre’s life story with the recent history of Brazil.
