1. 1. O Rei Da Vela

   

   A caustic, carnival-like drama that skewers Brazil’s bourgeoisie and its complicity with foreign capital: it follows a vainglorious, fraudulent entrepreneur who rises by exploitation while a gallery of grotesque, comic figures and surreal episodes exposes national hypocrisy, moral decay and cultural servility; through sharp, aphoristic language, black humor and modernist playfulness the work satirizes capitalist greed, political corruption and the absurdities of social ambition.
