Gregório Duvivier, Diogo Vilela and other artists re-release pieces this weekend

To laugh or cry, to feel or sing, there’s nothing like a good play to feel that shiver of emotion during a scene that takes place right there in front of you. And in this post-carnival period, Rio is better served than a pop star’s dressing room. There are several shows that debut or re-release, either opening the season or even in a single presentation.

Gregório Duvivier, for example, begins to present the monologue “Sísifo”, ​​which stays for two weeks at the Teatro Riachuelo, in the Center, and later on, in the same place, he amends the season of another production: “Portátil”.

— The theater makes me feel very good. The contact with the audience excites and gives ideas. I am very happy to find an audience with the same enthusiasm for this art, which involves leaving the house at the same time and spending an hour with the cell phone turned off. It’s not easy. It goes against the times. That’s why it makes so much sense — it vibrates.

Diogo Vilela takes his show to Rival Refit Theater interpreting Cauby Peixoto. Even having played this role so many times on stage, the artist says he always feels a unique emotion:

— I have always resisted repeating the same theme in the theater. But, with this show (in which he sings, like Cauby, the artist’s repertoire), I’m having to reconsider because the public’s appeal, combined with the pleasure we have in doing, is unique.

On the side, check out pieces on display this weekend.
