5 unusual facts about Gil Vicente


Dalila Carmo

She was a cast member in numerous productions such as Artaud Estudio with Paulo Filipe (ACARTE, 1997); Auto da India by Gil Vicente; Let's Make Opera with Paulo Matos (Teatro São Luiz, 1994); Queima de Judas (Teatro O Bando, 1992).

Gil Vicente

Though Leonor asked him to give an encore performance of the play at the Christmas matins, Vicente decided to write a new play for the occasion, the Auto Pastoril Castelhano ("Castilian Pastoral Act").

In contrast, his representations of the mythic, symbolic, and religious aspects of Christmas, such as the figure of the Virgin Mother, the infant Jesus, and Christmas eve, demonstrate a harmony and purity which is not present in his social commentary.

In 1586, the second edition was published; however, many parts were heavily censored by the Inquisition.

Though some of his works were later suppressed by the Portuguese Inquisition, causing his fame to wane, he is now recognised as one of the principal figures of the Portuguese Renaissance.
