The Theatre Times: Praça Roosevelt (Roosevelt Square) is a square located in downtown São Paulo. It was a historic place for culture and resistance against the military dictatorship (1964 – 1984) but after that, it became one of the most dangerous places in the largest metropolis of the southern hemisphere ruled by prostitution and drug trafficking. In 2000, the theatre company Os Satyros, founded by Ivam Cabral and myself, arrived at the square and contributed to its radical urban revolution. Nowadays it is a powerful cultural point that offers a rich nightlife, with theater venues, bars, and cinema within 200 meters along a sidewalk.
