## Description

The famous literary work "Elogio da Loucura" becomes a theatrical play at CCBB-RJ. The monologue is inspired by the masterpiece of the Dutch philosopher Erasmus of Rotterdam, one of the most provocative texts in Western literature. Written more than 5 centuries ago, the classic crosses time with surprising relevance. In this theatrical adaptation, Folly herself assumes the role of narrator to cast a sharp, ironic, and humorous look at the customs, vanities, and contradictions of society. The show invites the public to reflect on themes that remain current. The personification of self-love, pleasure, and the illusions that make human coexistence bearable and possible. An instigating, critical, and intelligent experience on the stages of CCBB-RJ.
