In 2025 it will be 45 years without Vinicius de Moraes – poet, playwright, journalist, columnist, diplomat, singer and composer – one of the leaders who created bossa nova, together with Tom Jobim and João Gilberto.
There were so many Vinicius that the chronicler Sérgio Porto, as the character Tia Zulmira, said that “if Vinicius de Moraes were just one, he wouldn’t be Vinicius de Moraes, he would be Vinicius de Moral.”
This multiplicity is represented in the play “Vinicius”, on display for ten years, and shown monthly at Teatro Mapati, in Brasília. In the show, there is Vinicius who suffers for love, who gets married and married several times, who migrates from Itamaraty to shows, and who drinks whiskey with his friends and partners at lively parties.
In the play, the spectator finds himself at a party in honor of the poet after his death, in July 1980. With the right to the distillate, the audience tours “Vinicius’ house” and encounters his multiple characters in each room.
The show about Vinicius is the subject of the program Samba Wheel which this Sunday (9), at noon, interviews the actor Marcellus Inácio, from the play’s cast.
