Produced by Armazém Theatre Company from Brazil, "Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas" by Machado de Assis inspired this production. The book portrays Brás Cubas as an iconic, pretentious character reflecting on his life after death, revealing his failures and self-loathing. The narrative intertwines three planes: Brás's memories, life events, and Machado de Assis's interactions. The play depicts Machado as a contemporary artist, exploring facets like slavery and city chronicling, crucial for Brazil's identity. The story delves into Brás's pursuit of fame and refusal to commit, mirroring life's incidents. The production creatively blends these elements on stage, reflecting Machado's erudition and influence on Brazil's national identity. Performed in Portuguese, with Chinese and English subtitles.
