Eid Ribeiro Anthology

 

Recognized as one of the most influential theater directors and playwrights in Brazil, Eid Ribeiro continues to bring to the stage an oeuvre that spans 5 decades of production. This anthology is divided into three volumes that, for the first time, bring together his 15 plays (some unpublished) and 48 chronicles between 1996 and 2001. The editorial project seeks to reflect the anarchic and profane spirit of his texts and the unique characters that inhabit his work.

 

 

“A hot afternoon in October 2016. Eid opened the doors of his house on the east side of town. A small backyard with a tree and a dog named Bolinha. In his living room, we spot the typewriter in which he still writes his texts. We were there for the photoshoot that would eventually feature the covers of this collection.


The visit, those few hours, reaffirmed the odd vigor of this artist. Eid is a paladin in reverse – a knight attacking good manners, a wanderer of the underworld, an anarchic captain of an absurd ship – yet he is also a silly clown and a lonely boy. All these facets coexist in the creator and are manifested in his creations. Publishing Eid's full writings was a necessary and urgent gesture. And now it's done: this anthology documents and disseminates his rich and unique universe, from his theater to his chronicles.”
