Luiz Duarte da Rocha (born 29 February 1956) Luiz Duarte, playwright and director, is one of the most expressive and award-winning Brazilian creators - Jabuti Literature Prize, Mambembe Prize, National Dramaturgy Prize About the Black Question - FUNDACEN. His works range from comedy to drama, both for children and adults. In addition to his dedication to theater, Luiz Duarte is a screenwriter and director of cinema and television, with dozens of documentaries produced - primarily scientific, having written the film's script in partnership with Ruy Guerra and Gabriel Garcia Marques "Luana" (which ended up not being produced, due to the monetary confiscation carried out in Brazil by former president Collor ). In 2010 Luiz Duarte released the short film poet-2987347 "The boy and the poet" in which for the first time in the history of cinema, the voice of a deceased person was recreated - in this case the voice of the poet Carlos Drummond de Andrade. His most recent film is the feature film "Looping", which has not yet been released.
