Watch Hilton Cobra’s award-winning monologue, which depicts an imaginary autopsy performed on the mind of writer Lima Barreto, conducted by a Congress of Eugenicists in Brazil in the early 20th century.
Written by director and playwright Luiz Marfuz in 2017, specifically to celebrate Hilton Cobra’s 40-year career, and directed by Onisajé (Fernanda Júlia), the play showcases the various facets of Lima Barreto’s personality and genius, reflecting on madness, racism, and eugenics, his unrecognized work, and the political and literary conflicts of his time.
