RAZOR

A Brazil where violence, prostitution and poverty and are part of the game of survival.

Razor outlines a naturalistic portrait of the Brazilian underworld where the prostitute Neusa Sueli and her pimp Vado suspect that the homosexual Veludo has stolen money from the room where they live. From there begins a game of survival, where poverty, prostitution and violence are present. The piece can be seen as a metaphor of the power between social classes in Brazil, since the characters, although belonging to the same social strata, are engaged in a continuous struggle for dominance over each other.

It was first played in Brazil in 1967 one year later the Military dictatorship would condemn the play for 15 years. As the reality has not change today this play is still used as a political tool in Brazil.

This is Brazil portrayed in one of the most controversial works of the renowned Brazilian author Plinio Marcos: "Razor Meat."
