"Luiz Gama - A voice for freedom '

The play “LUIZ GAMA - A voice for freedom” tells the story of a black lawyer who lived between 1830 and 1882 and suffered all the ailments of being born at a time when skin color was synonymous with servitude. Luiz Gama would be just another child with the reality marked by the slave society. Even though he was born free, since his father was white and his mother Luiza Mahin, he was a freed slave, female leader of the Maltese Revolt, Gama was sold as a slave, at the age of 10, by his own father. But he defied the world and changed his destiny. He learned to read and write, and then attended classes at the Faculty of Law as a listener. As a lawyer, even without a diploma, he acted in defense of blacks, freeing more than 500 slaves from illegal captivity. The play is a manifesto about a man who fought bravely against racial prejudice, in favor of human dignity and in particular for the liberation of slaves in Brazil.
