Presentation/Mini-bio:

The Performing Arts and Research and Training Centers, constituted by the Apolo and Hermilo Borba Filho Theaters was, at the beginning, called Experimental Center. It began when the warehouses at the back of Apolo Theater was revamped into a performing place, already dedicated to experimenting and training. It opened its doors in 1987, with the assembly of O Balcão, by Jean Genet, directed by Antonio Cadengue and performed by the students from the Performing Arts graduation of the Federal University of Pernambuco. In 1988 the Experimental center was heavily renovated and opened its doors with multiple uses, retractable bleachers, with various scenic formats, being named after the playwright from Pernambuco Hermilo Borba Filho. In the year 2000 it was renamed as Apolo-Hermilo Performing Arts Training and Research Center, and received new sound, lights and air conditioning systems. Apolo Theater was Recife’s first theater. It was built in 1839 by the Harmônico Theatral Society and was opened to the public in 1842. It worked for 18 years, soon being closed and becoming a sugar warehouse.
