‘I’ve been there too’

Kind, sensible, responsible, empathetic. The beautiful print is the same. But in an hour and 20 minutes of conversation with Henrique Barreira, it is clear that the actor has nothing to do with the character he assumes daily in “Vai na fé”. Extremely sexist, law student Frederico, Fred, walks past the 21-year-old from Rio de Janeiro. And even for that reason, the performance, convincing, has been highly praised in his debut on TV.

– People ask me: how do you manage to be (that cool) in life and talk so much nonsense when the director says “Action!”? That’s being an actor. And it’s important that there are actors and actresses willing to talk about aberrations on the scene, inciting debates in those who watch – observes the young man, referring to the lines and prejudiced attitudes of the young man in the plot.

In recent days, while the media reported that actress Lívia La Gatto had denounced coach Thiago Schutz, a propagator of sexist speeches, for death threats, the seven o’clock soap opera on Globo showed the journey of the Sacred Masculine, in which characters passed for evidence to reactivate a supposedly lost masculinity. Enthusiastic, playboy Fred recorded everything with his cell phone and started the battle cry: “Macho! Male! Male!”. In Rosane Svartman’s plot, Guiga’s ex-boyfriend (Mel Maia) created the channel “Macharada” to criticize the pressure that empowered women put on men. It contains (a lot of) irony, of course.

“That sync is amazing!” Reality reflected in fiction, and vice versa. Merit of the author and the team of screenwriters, in tune with what has been happening in the world. On the networks, the crowd even finds Fred’s attitudes funny. The point is that this is very serious and dangerous. Tragic and ridiculous. In real life, the “axe” movement happens. There are coaches and leaders teaching men how to become “alpha males”. It’s not a joke. These ideas literally kill women. And they kill men from the inside too — reflects Henrique.

According to Rosane Svartman, “Go in faith” has a large number of chapters already written. So is any simultaneity between fiction and reality entirely coincidental?

— Fred’s scenes show in a funny and critical way how this “macho philosophy” is anachronistic, despite being present today — she explains, adding that the theme will be addressed again in the soap opera, in a more dramatic way, with the same Fred and with other characters: — An author must have the sensitivity to try to understand what is latent in society. This sexist philosophy, which persists in contemporary times in different ways, generates debate.

My past condemns me

Henrique himself admits to having practiced the so-called toxic masculinity:

“I’ve been there too, several times. We are born hearing that men cannot show their feelings. During my childhood and adolescence, I would cry alone in my room, under the blanket, when I felt pain or when I was in love. He saw the woman as an object, made jokes around friends… I think the first step towards deconstruction is to recognize how sexist we were and still are. It is not our fault to be born in such a context, but it is our full responsibility and duty to open ourselves up to listening and correcting mistakes — teaches Henrique, telling that his many female friends helped him in this process and that the theater, which he started studying at age 12 , opened his mind: — Today, I think I’m a more conscious man. I left many friends along the way because I no longer identified with their thoughts. When I entered the theater, many people saw this with prejudice. And I realized what I would no longer tolerate in life.

In the synopsis of “Vai na fé”, Fred is expected to get involved with Bela (Clara Serrão), a member of the university’s quota students class who is bullied by the playboy. Apparently, the little villain will have his days of redemption.

— If this relationship happens, it will be an important turning point for Fred. He disarms himself when he likes someone, he becomes more vulnerable. Just remember that the “Macharada” happened because of a disappointment in his love with Guiga. This shows how sensitive he is too – defends Henrique.

Currently single, the boy says he is attentive to the advice of his two grandmothers.

— They say: ‘Boy, be careful now that you’re on television…’. It was their dream to see me on Globo’s small screen. I am focused, dedicated to work. So much so that sometimes I have to remind myself that it’s also healthy to have a social life, jinx. But being sung on a social network is one thing, in practical life it is another… — ponders the new heartthrob, who before appearing on TV had two thousand followers, on average, on Instagram, and now reaches almost 50 thousand: — I wasn’t on Twitter, but I realized that it’s a great soap opera thermometer. At first, I thought they were hating me. Then I understood that they were talking about Fred. But he’s not just the sucker playboy, he’s also a friend, loyal, recognizes his mistakes. We have 180 chapters to tell this story. A lot is yet to happen.
