S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 The play Meu Rem\u00e9dio<\/em>, a monologue starring Syrian Brazilian actor Mouhamed Harfouch, starts on Saturday (30) at Teatro Santos Augusta, marking its first performance in the city of S\u00e3o Paulo. Reflecting the Brazilian artist\u2019s process of reconnecting with his roots, the show premiered in Rio de Janeiro in January of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to being the creator, producer, and actor, Harfouch is also the author of the play\u2019s script, drawing on the story contained in his own name to create the production. \u201cIn the process of developing the play, I came to the conclusion that a name is never just a name\u2014it\u2019s a journey, something that speaks of all your ancestry,\u201d Harfouch told ANBA in an interview before the premiere in Rio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actor is the son of a Syrian father and a Brazilian mother, and in the play, he explores his father\u2019s story and the Arab influence on his artistic career. Mouhamed Harfouch\u2019s father, Mr. Nadim Harfouch, moved from Syria to Brazil about 60 years ago as a young man. In Brazil, he worked as a market vendor and street peddler, sent money to his family in Syria, and, after meeting the actor\u2019s mother, worked as a real estate broker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the presentation text on the Sympla platform, the play is described as a comedy that lightheartedly and humorously explores questions of origins, ancestry, identity, and the transformative power of self-acceptance. According to the site, the show is a deeply personal and emotional narrative, in which Harfouch delves into his own life story through an intimate creative process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The play is directed by Jo\u00e3o Fonseca, with costumes by Ney Madeira and Dani Vidal, lighting by Daniela Sanchez, set design by Nello Marrese, executive production by Val\u00e9ria Meirelles, and general coordination by Edmundo Lippi. It will run at Teatro Santos Augusta until September 28, with performances on Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 6 p.m. The running time is 75 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
