Roque Santeiro will set another milestone in his story as of Friday, 27, when the musical version debuts at Faap Theater. Born as a play in the 1960s, later transformed into a TV soap opera in the 1970s (when censored by the military government) and 80 (reaching audience peaks), she arrives on stage full of songs composed originally by Dias Gomes (1922- 1999) that signs the dialogues and also by Zeca Baleiro. More importantly: despite the iconic characters, the assembly reaches the main goal, which is to take off from the soap opera and take flight itself.
The text first came out as a play, The Hero’s Cradle, which was to premiere in 1965, but was banned by censorship from the military government – explicitly humanistic criticism of how heroic myths built on real events bothered the military. The plot basically presents the idolatry that takes care of a small Bahia city, dedicated to the corporal Jorge, inhabitant acclaimed for having died with bravura in the Second War. In fact, what is discovered later is that he fled the front after being attacked by a nervous breakdown.
