Lucélia Santos debuts this month in Lisbon the play Voices from the Forest — Chico Mendes Lives, for the first time in the Portuguese capital. The presentation marks an important moment in the career of the Brazilian actress and playwright, bringing to the Lisbon stage a production already consolidated.
In addition to the play, Lucélia Santos plans to shoot in Coimbra, in 2026, a feature film dedicated to the theme of immigration. The project represents an expansion of her career into cinematic direction, an area in which she has been working in recent years.
Lucélia Santos herself acknowledges the complexity of the subject, classifying immigration as a thorny topic. This statement suggests that the film will address the difficulties and challenges faced by immigrants, without softening the social issues involved.
