Great, historically, spiritually and humanly. King and man. Their dreams, their fears, their pains, their conquests, “Anxiety, contradictions and desires.”

Next, Selton spoke about the importance of playing a character and telling the history of the country, as well as honoring an actor friend.

“Research in the past, to transform the present and illuminate the future. This work is dedicated to my greatest teacher: Paulo José. The actor who showed me the way to express the most, with the least impression of resources. He opened giant portals for me… My love for him is great. Paulo Dom Pedro II is always thinking about how to do it,” Selton said.
