“When we decided to produce ‘Five times a favela, now for us’ with just the residents of the favela, one of the highlights we soon had was Cadu Barcellos. He was so smart, so funny, so talented, that we gave him the they one of the episodes. That makes me very bad for him, who was a person I knew a lot, who was my friend a lot, as well as for Rio de Janeiro, which is an impossible city to live in, “he said.

Cadu was also an assistant director on the Gregnews program and on the Porta dos Fundos channel. He also worked as a producer and dancer.

Cria da Maré, founded the page “Maré Vive” that portrays the reality of the complex in a social network.

“I believe that the seed that Cadu planted is going to be harvested for many, many years and generations. Without a doubt, many people are inspired and will continue to be inspired by this legacy that is Cadu Barcellos ”.

The NGO Redes da Maré also published a tribute to him.

“Today # RedesdaMaré dawns in Mourning for the brutal murder of the young man and our dear friend Cadu Barcellos. Our love for the family, which is part of our history, for the friends and partners of this young man who has produced so much for our territory ”.

According to his friend William Oliveira, “Cadu was possibly killed by a cell phone, a Riocard and a handful of reales.”

“I think he is an example for all young people in the community, fighting for culture. And we are losing. Today it is more a son who loses his mother, more a father who loses his son, another friend, a professional. I believe that everything the world loses, right? I think we are going through this war, this gigantic problem of public security and it turns out that it was another number of that, unfortunately, and it is with great regret that we are here “.
