In 1967, he led, together with his wife, Florence Buchsbaum, the movement "Teatro ao Encontro do Povo", whose aim was to offer theater shows to the people, trying to discuss their lives and the world. He founded, in the 1970s, the politico-ecological movement "Resistência Ecológica" and also ran the newspaper Abertura Cultural, which was the mainstay of the movement.
