Life and career
Born in Sertânia in the state of Pernambuco, he moved with his family to Paulo Afonso, Bahia, in 1969.[1] He remained there for six years, before returning to Pernambuco and settling in the capital, Recife, where he began performing theater. In 1981, he wrote his first plays in this genre, along with a group of visual artists and writers from the city. Throughout the 1980s, he worked as a bank clerk[6] and began a Literature course at the Catholic University of Pernambuco, but did not complete it.[1]
In 1988, he attended the writer Raimundo Carrero's literary workshop[7] and, two years later, received an award from the Pernambuco state government. In 1991, he moved to São Paulo, where he worked in an advertising agency and started publishing his writings in 1995.[1]
Since 2006, Freire promotes in São Paulo the Balada Literária, an event which combines music, literature and arts.[8][9] He also teaches creative writing classes.[10]
Personal life
In interviews, Freire said jokingly he is a "non-observing" homosexual.[11]
