Synopsis

When I was invited to preface the work that is now before us, I couldn't help but remember my conversations with the great Sergipe poet Hunald Fontes de Alencar. Alencar was already in the last years of his life, and every time I visited Aracaju I tried to find him somehow. Unfortunately, there were not as many times as I would have liked, but, in those liquid times that Zygmunt Bauman announced to us a few years ago, I am sure that a fast and strong friendship developed between us. When we first met, Hunald had just finished writing one of his last texts before leaving us forever. A text for theater in honor of the American singer Billie Holiday. It was only after her death, in 2016, that we could see the dream of this heart and soul native of Aracaju come true: Billie Holiday – A Canção was finally assembled and was a huge success with the public.
