Son of a period of profound transformations, Tomé Tavares (1570-1634) is part of a baroque spirit, marked by the unveiling of the words and by the satire’s poisonous and unmeasured guillotine. In a society marred by hypocrisy and the worldly frivolities, burlesque satire comes as a regenerator blow, giving rise not only to an irreverent laugh, often in complicity, but also as a releasing factor by a world steeped in misrepresented values.
