The show received the 2011 Scenic Assembly Award from the State Government of Rio de Janeiro. Freely inspired by the homonymous book by Pernambuco sociologist and writer Gilberto Freyre, published in 1933, the show highlights the social issues related in the novel, which travels through the colonial period in Brazil, drawing a parallel between Portuguese colonization and the formation of an agrarian and slave-owning society with the formation of the Brazilian people, their mixture of races and cultures.

SYNOPSIS

The Cyclomatics Co. de Teatro is inspired and transpires freely in the controversial work of Gilberto Freyre as text and pretext to tell, through songs and legends, a little of what the Brazilian people are today. Starting from indigenous peoples, blacks and Portuguese, passing through the song of the washerwomen, the sertanejos and the popular poetry of the plot sambas, the show brings, through an anachronistic and non-linear narrative, referenced by Teatro de Revista, a little of that Brazil that dwells in each of us. This Brazil, once a boy, now a teenager, sung by Os Ciclomáticos Cia de Teatro, with authorship and direction by Ribamar Ribeiro, is a little bit of all that, of this tasty mix, of these beautiful people. It is a bit of this story that continues to be written by each one of us.
