Olinda é uma cidade viva e pulsante antes, durante e depois do carnaval. das ruas calmas às aglomerações caórdicas e coloridas que só a cidade pode proporcionar, essa série tem como objetivo mostrar ao público como é estar ali através de um olhar crítico que busca desinvisibilizar os trabalhadores que fazem o carnaval acontecer.
É comum que os ambulantes durmam mais de cinco dias ao lado de suas barracas sem voltar para suas casas nem para tomar banho. Os que podem, revezam com seus familiares. Os catadores de lixo trabalham durante toda madrugada para juntar alumínio para a reciclagem.
A festa enorme pouco devolve às figuras que a tornam realidade. Quem são os protagonistas do carnaval, afinal?
the heart of olinda's carnival
Olinda is a lively and pulsating city before, during, and after carnival. From calm streets to chaotic and colorful crowds that only the city can provide, this series aims to show the audience what it's like to be there through a critical lens that seeks to make visible the workers who make carnival happen.
It's common for street vendors to sleep for more than five days next to their stalls without returning home or even taking a shower. Those who can, take turns with their family members. Waste pickers work throughout the night to gather aluminum for recycling.
The enormous celebration gives little back to the figures who make it a reality. Who are the protagonists of carnival, after all?
