Luziana Luli Brazil
Luziana Luli Brazil, born Luziana Mercia Ferreira, in Maceio, capital of Alagoas state in the Northeast of Brazil. And naturalized Canadian in July 28, 2023.
Her father, Jose Ednaldo (Edinho) Ferreira, a trumpet player and post office inside worker, born in Marechal Deodoro, Alagoas, where one of the best beach of Alagoas is, French's Beach (Praia do Frances), and her mother, Maria das Graças Ferreira (born Maria das Graças da Conceição), an Art and religion teacher, born in Agua Branca, Alagoas, a dry hinterland or backwoods place, gave birth in Saint Lucy's Day (Santa Luzia) December 13, 3:45 a.m., Luziana was almost dying, in Santa Casa de Misericordia Hospital, as her mom is really religious Catholic decided to name Luziana in homage to the saint of the day to protect her life, because the doctor said she would have problems either mental or physical. She had problems to talk, but eventually started walking late, around one year old, Fiat, the medicine used to heal also triggered her asthma, that gave her an experience of almost death , she saw her body, but it was fast. What the family didn't expect was that her elder brother, the poet graduated psychologist Ely Max Ferreira, would be the one who really born with a incurable disease, Duchene Progressive Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Her younger brother, Elton Márcio Ferreira born one year after her. She always thought she wanted to be actress, writer and legal doctor.
Her family wasn't wealthy, they couldn't afford lots of training, and also Ely and Luziana needed to attended swimming classes for their health improvement, so her little brother Elton attended because he couldn't stay alone at home, Elton wanted to practice Martial Arts Judo, as he couldn't attend alone because someone had to go with him Luziana attended Judo too, they liked it, but Luli didn't like competition. But at twelve years old she discovered she had an enormous ovarian cyst and had to go under a surgery removing her left ovary too. As she left Judo her little brother left too, so they decided to get some classical piano lessons, Luziana asked her mom to subscribe her in Theatre lessons too and that's how she begun.
While attending theater classes she had experience researching contents for a Cultural and Educational Radio Program, Luzes da Ribalta, at Radio Educativa FM, that went on air during Sundays 4 p.m. from 1993 to 1994, in the end of the course it had a Christmas Show, Life's Portrait (Reatratos da Vida) in which she played a short tempered grumpy house wife, in December 14, 1993, in the Sergio Cardozo Pocket Theatre, beside Deodoro Theatre, Centro, Maceió, Alagoas, Brazil. In this meanwhile she dropped discontinued the piano classes because, as she said, the teacher never left the theory, never let us touch the piano, and she and her younger brother decided to study English, her elder brother didn't have time to attend because he had physiotherapy and supplementary Math classes because the family wasn't good in Math no one could help each other and he was stopping walking, the swimming classes weren't helping anymore.
The computer classes started to exist in Brazil and Luziana decided to enroll, she was the youngest in the class, she was having problems to follow, after one year she decided to drop that. She fell in love for a classmate in English classes and after an argument with him she decided to drop the classes too. Went back to theatre and a fanfare band playing drums, she also was trying to learn to play sax while her younger brother was playing trombone, her elder brother decided he wanted to turn his poetries into music and wanted to take private lessons at home, as he was already on wheelchair, but the teacher was just after money, didn't teach much and wanted advanced payment, after paid never showed up again. Luziana parent's wanted to buy a keyboard piano to Ely but Elton also wanted a trombone, so Ely decided to let Elton get his gift first, instead he could sing his poetries, so he did, in a school presentation fair. In that same day Luziana made part on her second project "The flower" (A Flor), theatrical play written by Alberto Do Carmo, theater logo, art teacher at the school where she and her brothers studied, Sagrada Familia School, in the next year she made part with the same group in another show Mother Portrait (Retrato de Mãe), directed again by her classmate Jurandir Bozo (today master of Coco de Roda and actor in Serial Kelly). In a bus stop she met her English classmate who invited her to join their friend in a English course with the same first teacher they had, she accepted and there she had the chance to make role in a commercial STEP English Course, that made her wish to go back acting again.
After that she participated in a contest the "V Mostra de Teatro Alagoano" (V Show of Alagoas Theatre) with the pay "The Call of Eduardo Da Silva" (O Chamado de Eduardo da Silva) winner of honorable mention as the best show, in June, 1995, in which she played one of the Hell's ghosts, at the Lima Filho Theatre in Maceio, Alagoas, Brazil. There she had her best experience watching and working with the best artists of Alagoas, Brazil.
