"Working from very personal thematic universe, Leonardo Moreira, not incidentally, means that the actors use their own names in the scene, aware, however, that memory, the central element in O jardim, involves additions and subtractions for each evoked fact. Actors seek a natural voice record, not interpreted, and who better seems to transit this proposal is Paula Picarelli, she does not make the obvious choice to value poetic in speeches. In all those O jardim creative solutions it worths mentioning the Theodoro Cochrane costumes, especially in the solution to the actresses who wear flowered dresses that outline the distinct profile of each character".
Daniel Schenker - Questão de Crítica Magazine.
" But the enchantment – and enchantment is the exact word – is present in characters and their actors. And not only their beauty, but also their sights, obsessed and repetitive gestures, small individual tragedies represent. (...) It is a mistake, in a spectacle so blatantly collective, but I will point out what struck me most: Aline Filócomo1s mood, Luciana Paes' embarrassed pride and Paula Picarelli's haughtiness".
