About me

View profile
I am an actor who comes from Recife, in the Northeast region of Brazil. Back home I started doing theatre and was in plays like "puro lixo ", a story about the origins of the queer group "vivencial diversiones", revolutionary in the 70's counterculture and important in the aesthetic resistance at the time of the Brazilian military dictatorship. I lived in São Paulo in 2017, where I graduated from the theatre research center(cpt), then led by Antunes Filho. I have a bachelor's degree in acting from the university of São Paulo (USP) and specialised in the Meisner technique. I have been a student of the director and theatre pedagogue Jurij Alschitz, based in Berlin, and of the Argentinian acting teacher and casting director Walter Rippel. Recently, in the theatre I was in the cast of the play "Fábrica de Chocolates”, a text by Mário Prata about the context of torture and persecution during the Brazilian military dictatorship. In the audiovisual segment, I have participated in the series "o Rei da tv" (star+) and the upcoming series about the life of Raul Seixas (star+), a legendary Brazilian rock star. I have acted in "culto pessoal", an experimental short film that I also wrote the script for, about a dream I had with Fernando Pessoa, the Portuguese poet. Furthermre, I had a leading role in "O primo holandês" an upcoming short film I made in Maceió, Brazil. On this basis, I have started to establish my presence as an actor across several regions of my country and abroad. I go wherever cinema calls.
