Biography

edit

Duarte is the child of Maria Ivete da Cunha Duarte and Romeu Duarte. She was born on 10 July 1991 in São Paulo, but spent most of her childhood in São Bernardo do Campo.[7] At 15, she began studying theatre at workshops offered by cities in the ABC Paulista region. After she briefly studied at SP Escola de Teatro, she was accepted into the School of Dramatic Arts at the University of São Paulo.[8]

She has performed in works such as Angustia, (2014) directed by Luciene Guedes, A Visita da Velha Senhora, directed by Celso Frateschi (2015), and O Alvo, directed by Pedro Garrafa (2015). In 2016, she was cast, in São Paulo, as one of the protagonists of As Siamesas — Talvez eu Desmaie no Front, directed by Fernanda Camargo, Carolina Bianchi and Felipe Rocha.[9]

At the beginning of 2017, she was selected after an intense casting process to act in "A Força do Querer" by Rede Globo, during which she lived in Rio de Janeiro.[10] In the show, written by Glória Perez, she plays the role of Ivan Garcia, a boy from a rich family who discovers he is transgender.[11][12][13] The role, which was received well publicly, also led Duarte to become an active voice for LGBT rights, as it also came to public knowledge that she was in a relationship with another woman.[14]

She next was cast in a role for a show by Manuela Dias, set to be released in 2019, but it ended up being rearranged by director Rogério Gomes [pt] as she was to act in the show "O Sétimo Guardião", written by Agnaldo Silva, where she plays Stefânia.[15][16]

In 2019, she returned to Rio to star in the film The Invisible Life of Eurídice Gusmão by Karim Aïnouz. In this film, she worked with people such as Fernanda Montenegro and Gregório Duvivier. In May of the same year, the film was selected by the 2019 Cannes Film Festival to win the Un certain regard award.[17] As a result of the movie, she was nominated for 6 awards as best actress and won 3, among them the Platino Awards as best film actress.

In 2020, Duarte was in the short film Missão Perséfone, a 2021 film directed by Aïnouz, in the short Chão de Fábrica, by Nina Kopko, which showed the lunch hour of four metallurgists, with her playing the role of the operator Renata.[18]

In 2022, she was selected to play a role in La Chimera by Alice Rohwacher,[19] playing the role of Italia, acting alongside international actors such as Josh O'Connor and Isabella Rossellini.[20] The same year she took part in the film Malu, directed by Pedro Freire, about the life of actress Malu Rocha, his mother.[21] In 2023, she returned to the theatre stage and acted in two plays: From May to November in the special Babilônia Tropical – A Nostalgia do Açúcar as Anna Paes, the owner of the Engenho of Casa Forte, in the North Zone of Recife.[22] From November to December, she had her first solo role in A Visita, a play about a woman confined to her apartment during a global pandemic, confronting an illness in the collective psyche.[23]

Personal life

edit

In 2017, the media revealed that Duarte is lesbian.[24] She is a self-described feminist and leftist and is known for her social and political activism.[25]

In October 2018, she denounced criticisms and lesbophobic remarks she has received in the past, mainly online, on the Jovem Pan radio show "Morning Show".[26]

She lives with her girlfriend Aline Klein, with whom she has been in a relationship with since 2014.[27][28][29]
