Natália do Vale stars in Miguel Falabella's play 'A Sabedoria dos Pais' in São Paulo, portraying a woman seeking love in her later years after deciding to divorce her long-time husband.
In the play 'A Sabedoria dos Pais', written by Miguel Falabella and currently showing in São Paulo, Natália do Vale takes on the role of a woman who embarks on a new romantic journey in her third age after her long-standing relationship ends in divorce. This character is a reflection of Vale's extensive career, showcasing her ability to portray vivacious and unconventional women. Inspired by her own life experiences, Vale's character navigates the complexities of love and betrayal, bringing humor and depth to the narrative.
Vale's portrayal in this play includes explosive reactions, especially upon learning of her husband's betrayal, where she utilizes colorful language but ultimately finds a way to maintain affection for him despite the moral dilemmas she has faced, reminiscent of her character from the 1987 soap opera 'O Outro'.

She fondly recalls the time spent with Falabella in the past, highlighting the intimacy of their creative process, where late-night phone calls were common as they discussed future projects. The depth of their relationship is evident not just through their collaborations but also through the evolution of their artistic visions, as Vale steps into new narrative territories while still honoring the foundations laid by her previous works.
