Antonio Fagundes is set to return to the Teatro Cultura Artística in São Paulo, directing the play 'Sete Minutos' (Seven Minutes), which he originally premiered in 2002. This marks a significant shift for Fagundes, who has previously acted in this production before deciding to take on the role of director. The plot revolves around an actor who storms off the stage during a performance of 'Macbeth' due to the audience's inattentiveness, reflecting Fagundes' passion for theater and the challenges artists face in engaging with their audience. Notably, he has a history of strict policies regarding latecomers to his performances, which led to legal issues in the past.

The play will run from May 22 to August 1, featuring a cast that includes Norival Rizzo, Walter Breda, Fábio Esposito, Ana Andreatta, Conrado Sardinha, and Natália Beukers. The production is especially significant as it will be the first endeavor of Infoteatro, a platform founded by Natália Beukers, who initiated the idea for Fagundes to direct this piece. This collaboration highlights a shift in Fagundes' career and also aims to address the intimate relationship between theater practitioners and their audiences, showcasing how performances can spark dialogue about engagement and appreciation of the arts.
