From the 22nd the audience follows in ‘Mar do Sertão’, the next six o’clock soap opera, the love story of Candoca (Isadora Cruz) and Ze Paulino (Sergio Guize). Madly in love, they are separated when Zé Paulino has an accident and is presumed dead.
After 10 years, Candoca is married to his great rival Tertulinho (Renato Góes) when he returns. “Zé Paulino is moved by the unconditional love he feels for Candoca. When he returns to Canta Pedra, he continues to be crossed by this love,” says Sergio Guizé. Renato Góes also defends his character’s feelings: “Everything that is good for Tertulinho is for Candoca. All of his mistakes and all of the changes he will go through are because of her.”
‘Sea of the Sertao’ is Isadora Cruz’ first telenovela as the protagonist. The actress, who starred in the cast of “Haja Coração” (2016), defines her current character as a young woman who understands the power to transform the reality of people and their city. “She is moved by her love for animals, the environment, the preservation of nature, her love for Zé Paulino, for her son, for her mother, for her friends. Candoca is mostly driven by love and hope and belief in a better future,” he says.
focused on the Northeast
Like Isadora, who is from Paraíba, “Mar do Sertão” has about 20 other actors from the Northeast. “Having actors from different regions of the Northeast adds a lot to the soap opera, and we have other newcomers on TV as well. That’s what we want: Brazil represents what it is and more and more talent from all corners has the opportunity to show their work,” analyzes the artistic director Allan Fiterman.
The background to the story of this love triangle is the Sertão, more precisely the fictional Canta Pedra, which according to the author Mario Teixeira is a microcosm of Brazil. “I’ve always wanted to tell this story because it’s regional but also universal. Canta Pedra is a fictional town in a totally fictional geography that mixes canyons and caatinga. These are landscapes that we invented and that Allan translated very well into images based on my text. Regionalism is universal because when you talk about a small village, you are talking about the world. It’s actually a regional story that takes place in the heart of Brazil, in a deep country, but that’s in all of us,” he explains.
