Biography

Fernando Ferreira de Carvalho, better known as Fernando Guerreiro, was born in Salvador, Bahia, on September 7, 1961. He consolidated his career as one of the most awarded and successful theatrical directors in the state, standing out for his work in the popularization and revitalization of Bahian theater over the past few decades. With more than thirty shows directed in his career, Guerreiro has helmed major productions such as A Bofetada, Os Cafajestes and Boca de Ouro.

In addition to his work on stage, Fernando Guerreiro is widely recognized as a discoverer of talents for theater, film and television. Through his productions and mentorships, he has helped launch nationally prominent names who began their careers in Bahia, such as Wagner Moura, Vladimir Brichta and Daniel Boaventura. His influence has also extended to the press and radio, where he works as the host of the program Roda Baiana, on Rádio Metrópole, and as a columnist for the newspaper Correio.

His management in Bahian culture includes the presidency of the Fundação Gregório de Mattos, a position he has held since 2012. To celebrate four decades of artistic dedication, Guerreiro conceived the show Revele, a work that blends talk show and stand-up to revisit his career on stage and in public administration, featuring direction by João Sanches and a script by Daniel Arcades.
