Era Uma Vez Diversiones

Directed by Henrique Arruda and Sharlene Esse

With Aurora Jamelo, Salário Mínimo, Raquel Simpson, Leviathan and Ruby Nox

Recounting real events inspired by the revolutionary theater group that transformed the artistic scene in the city of Olinda in the 1970s, Once Upon a Time Diversiones tells the story of newcomer Sharlene Esse’s first night—and future first transgender leading lady of Pernambuco theater—at the most charismatic performance house in a not-so-distant kingdom.
