ABSTRACT
The Creation section has the objective of publish unpublished texts and materials by writers and/or artists, photographers, designers, as well as unpublished documents found in the USP IEB Archive. In this issue, three Contos baldios (Wasteland tales), by Márcio Marciano, are published. A playwright and director, Marciano founded Companhia do Latão, in São Paulo city, and Coletivo de Teatro Alfenim, in João Pessoa. He is currently a consultant at the Academia Paraibana de Cinema. For the critic José Antonio Pasta (2017, p. 22), Marciano’s artistic work “has a habit of trying to solve the problems, not by relieving them, obviating what is an obstacle in them, but, on the contrary, increasing your difficulty, intensifying it, until it passes into your other”.
