Altenir Silva, my friend from Brazil, had a one-minute play produced at the New Workshop Theatre, Brooklyn College, in June. It is called “She Loves Pepsi and He Drinks Coca-Cola.” Needless to say, it is about relationships. I told him it sounds like “Waiting for Godot,” only with a redhead with a Russian accent. Altenir has written for Brazilian television and has also written several movies, including the touching “Curitiba Zero Degree,” about four men whose lives intersect in gritty corners of a large southern city. The film has a hopeful message, rare anywhere. The trailer for the film:

This weekend we saw Humans on Broadway. No formal plot, not much of a story, either. Dysfunction absent clever dialogue and ultimately without any insight understandable by me. Altenir's one minute, in my personal view, examined more substance about relationships than the ninety minutes I yawned through last night. OK, Altenir, give us 89 minutes more please and then let's book a theater.

Belated RIP:
Loyal Reader Hansen Alexander passed on Dec, 22, 2020, and I just caught up. He was a smart and passionate writer and lawyer, who often tried to educate and inform me. I am proud of his interview with, of all people, me: It's on his blog. (Just past photo of rat!) My thanks for his interest. GV notesfromnewratcity.wordpress.com/blog/ |
