In addition to being an outburst for the actor, for bringing his experience with homosexuality, passing through episodes of prejudice and the challenge of revealing his sexuality to his parents, Criança Viada also brings the verve of combating homophobia. After each show, a chat was held with Vinicius, Paula and the audience, mediated by the People Development coordinator at Bahiana and educator, professor Luiza Ribeiro. According to her, the Bahiana is an anti-homophobic institution and bringing this piece to the institution is an action to combat homophobia: "Bahiana it is an institution that trains professionals committed to ethics and morals, based on respect for difference and for the other. So being here with the play Criança Viada is a very special moment for us – employees, teachers, students – to reflect on our own values, within a homophobic society that has been reproducing discrimination indiscriminately, without thinking. So the Bahiana positions itself as an anti-homophobic institution, which works through dialogue, knowledge, information and art."
