ABSTRACT
The dossier Chico Buarque, 80 Years Old aims to take a critical look at the artist’s work. Seven articles and one review address three fronts of Chico’s work over a career of more than 50 years: popular song, literature (novels and tales) and theater. In the sum of the texts, the plurality of methods and approaches denotes a requirement of the artistic material itself and the relationship it maintains with the Brazilian historical process.
