Regina Duarte criticizes Lula stickers placed over her theatre poster

A poster for Regina Duarte’s play was covered with stickers supporting President Lula in central São Paulo.

The poster promotes “A Filha da...,” a comedy now playing at the BDO Jaraguá theatre.

Duarte criticized the act in an Instagram post and said it made her appear to use the number 22.

She posed beside the poster making that hand sign, which refers to Flávio Bolsonaro’s ballot number in his presidential contest with Lula.

Duarte previously served as culture secretary under former president Jair Bolsonaro, leaving the role after 74 days.

Her tenure drew criticism after she played down deaths caused by coronavirus, and more than 500 artists signed a letter condemning her remarks.

The play stars Duarte and her daughter Gabriela, and no further response or action over the poster is described.
