March 31, 2014 marked the 50th anniversary of the civil-military coup in Brazil, a date not to be commemorated, but remembered by the youth of fifty years ago and, above all, told and retold to the youth of the 21st century, the first generation born and raised under the democratic regime in the entire history of the Brazilian Republic. To mark this date, readings of the plays Patética and Ponto de Partida, directed by Cibele Forjaz, were staged at the TucArena theater. With performances by Denise Fraga, Miriam Mehler, and Renato Borghi, the plays represent milestones of resistance theater.
