I cried and laughed hard when I revised this episode for publication.
Eduardo Barreto, a Portuguese-born artist who´s been living and creating in London for more than 30 years, sat with me and reminded me why it´s worth remaining human.
He´s a theater and cinema director, screenwriter; initiator of grand things, and my guest in an episode that is going to blow your mind.
In this episode, we talk about the arts - theater, cinema, literature -, the sacredness of actors, how to get our creative juices flowing, living between cultures, the power of wounds and vulnerability; and why kindness can save the world.
If you´re in need of a soulful, honest, and heart-opening conversation, search no more. Grab a glass of a warm beverage, sit back, and enjoy.
