Tattoo (Portuguese: Tatuagem) is a 2013 Brazilian drama film written and directed by Hilton Lacerda in his directorial debut.
[2] The film is set in Recife in the 70's, and follows the story of Clécio Wanderley, the leader of the theatrical troupe Chão de Estrelas, which performs concerts full of debauchery and nudity.
It doesn't take long for them to engage in a romantic relationship, which puts him in a dubious situation: while increasing the bounds with the troupe members, he needs to deal with the existing repression of the army during the dictatorship.
The leader of the theatrical group Chão de Estrelas is based on the Argentine playwright Túlio Carella, who lived in Recife during the 60s.
The theater company itself represents the actual experience of anarchic experiential troupe "Vivencial", which existed in the second half of the 70s.
