Play talks about sexual violence against boys and culture of silence

“Geni’s Son” is not afraid to poke at the wounds of hypocrisy that hides violence

“O Filho da Geni” is the new solo performance by actor Luiz Fernando Almeida. With dramaturgy by Diego Lourenço and direction by Matheus Lipari, the show is currently running at the SP Escola de Teatro, in São Paulo (SP), until September 1st. The artist plays a character who returns to Brazil after working for years in Europe, in underemployment conditions.

From this point on, he finds himself forced to confront his traumatic past and delves into disturbing memories from his childhood and adolescence, realizing the extent of the abuse he suffered, perpetuated and learned to normalize.

The show, whose title refers to the song “Geni e o Zepelim”, by Chico Buarque, can be read as one of the multiple faces of social and economic inequality suffered by those who live on the margins of society, such as LGBTQIA+ people.

The production denounces sexual violence against boys and teenagers. The text is based on extensive research and interviews conducted with victims of child sexual abuse in Brazil and Europe over a period of approximately three years.

“Geni’s Son”
Sessions until September 1st: Fridays and Saturdays at 8:30 pm, Sundays at 6 pm

SP School of Theater – Roosevelt Unit: Franklin Roosevelt Square, 210 Bela Vista – São Paulo
