Wagner Moura

Elderly people.

Yeah.

My parents were very serious in, like,

that we should always respect people that were older than we were.

And that ended up translating to me, for what I do, the admiration and respect that I have for actors, especially in Brazil, that opened space for younger actors in terms of work opportunities.

And it was hard to be an actor back in the beginning of the 20th century.

So every time I meet up an actor that looks like in their 85, 90s right now, I know there is a reverence that I have towards these people that it's, yeah, that's very important to me.

Oh, yeah.

There was this director that I worked with who was such an important person, theater director.

Such an important person in my life as an artist.

Unfortunately, he passed two, three years ago.

His name is Aderbal Freire Filho.

Theatre directors, it's interesting because they have these amazing careers, but their work...

as it's theater, it disappears.

If you go to the theater and you see a play, it's going to be in your memory and in your heart, and it's going to be there forever.

But it's not recorded.

It's not like movies that you can, oh, let's go and see the work of that director.

Theater directors, like their art just burns.

Ephemeral.

It's ephemeral.
