Actors Marcos Pitombo and André Torquato will present "Poemas," a new play by renowned Brazilian author Gabriel Chalita. The production, directed by Duda Maia, will run at the Teatro Multiplan in Morumbi Shopping, São Paulo, from April 24 to June 7 of this year. This theatrical piece explores the profound themes of inspiration, nostalgia, and the search for meaning through the lens of two characters trying to write a poem to 'save the world.'

As expressed by Pitombo, the play not only highlights their childhood memories but also brings attention to the reflections on aging. The characters engage in a rich dialogue about what inspires them, touching upon personal pain and the intrinsic motives that propel their creative endeavors. The emotional quest for creating a poem serves as a metaphor for life, delving into how experiences and sensations contribute to art and self-discovery.

Torquato further emphasizes that the essence of the play might reside not in the poem they are attempting to craft, but in the journey of searching for that creation. As they grapple with the 'mystery' of their artistic pursuit, the story reinforces the idea that the process itself is often where salvation lies, making it a poignant exploration of creativity and connection with one another.
