The work features original songs and tales by Eduardo Rios, inspired by the work of Machado de Assis.
“I came up against‘ Tales of Love and Jealousy ’, I liked the title and only afterwards I saw that it was Machado de Assis. I was excited to create a children's play about jealousy, from the writer's universe ”, remember Duda Maia. “We are all jealous and the child is also very jealous.
To ela, believe: “Theater for children doesn’t have to be just a cool story, need to be necessary, bring reflections to those who watch. It is necessary not to underestimate neither the intelligence of the children nor the ability of them to engage in important dialogues with adults ”.
