Letters From Simone

Fernanda Montenegro read Simone de Beauvoir out loud in a park, and fifteen thousand people sat down on the grass to listen.

The brief

Itaú gives away books. What it needed was an argument for reading itself, and an ad about reading is not one.

The idea

One actress, one author, nothing staged. No music, no effects, nothing on that stage moving faster than she reads. A Cerimônia do Adeus, out loud, at seven in the evening on a Sunday in August.

The result

The park filled and stayed filled to the end, and a theatre run followed it. BEA World gave the reading a Bronze in the Grand Prix category and two Silvers.
