An active participant in Teatro de Arena, founder of the Centro Popular de Cultura da UNE and Grupo Opinião, his dramaturgy is marked by the exposure of Brazilian reality through the simple and hard-working man, in opposition to foreign cultural hegemony.

Considered the first left-wing response to the dictatorship, the group gathered now famous Brazilian artists such as Nara Leão, Maria Bethânia, João do Vale and Millôr Fernandes.
