Biography
José Paulo Lanyi is a Brazilian journalist, writer, producer, and filmmaker born April 10, 1970. He graduated in journalism from Faculdade Cásper Líbero in 1993 and worked as a reporter for major São Paulo networks including Globo TV, Rede Bandeirantes, Manchete TV, CBN Radio, and Globo Radio. In 1995 he served as a foreign correspondent in London.
Lanyi's literary output spans novels and a new form he calls 'scenic novel'—blending drama and prose. *Calixto – Azar de quem votou em mim* and *Deus me disse que não existe* exemplify this hybrid approach. His most-recognized work is the play *Quando dorme o vilarejo*, published by the Official Press of the State of São Paulo and recognized with the Vladimir Herzog Award for Amnesty and Human Rights coverage in 2002. The surrealist piece, inspired by Luis Buñuel's cinema, premiered at São Bento Theatre in São Paulo on December 10, 2008, under United Nations support.
Later projects include *Maquiavel, O Homem por Trás do Mal* (2020), a history play published on Amazon, and *Psiu*, a Portuguese-language comedy about urban noise pollution and invasive construction. He directed making-of content and served as executive producer for the 2017 film *Real – O Plano por trás da história* and freelanced as a BBC reporter. Lanyi also contributed to literary magazine *Cult*, collaborated with media criticism sites *Observatório da Imprensa* and *Comunique-se*, and holds membership in the São Paulo Association of Art Critics. Born under Aries, his work consistently targets social discomfort with surreal, confrontational style [F1, enrichments]. His life-path number 22 reflects the master builder archetype—constructing new literary forms and theatrical spaces for critique [enrichments].
