During the popular festivities of Cariri, the backwoods of Ceará dress up in other backlands, appearing the playful groups of Bumba-meu-boi, Banda Cabaçal, Pastoris, Congos and Reisados. Among these, there are also the "Dogs", who appear in the days of Quilombo, being a group composed of anonymous and sometimes aggressive characters, opening the procession of the king with the pretext of protecting them.

I am very interested in this universe of the annulment of the identity of these individuals who, when characterized, transcend the rules, incorporating their characters in black robes and frightening masks. These beings, transit between man / animal, between the sacred / profane, between the visible / invisible. They are fugitives from the popular imagination, transfigured into sinister entities that stridently whip the asphalt taking possession of the city streets, a right that communities in the periphery have always denied. They are enigmatic pranksters who, taken by human bestiality, leave spreading terror.

The absence of a real face gives them the right to explode the most primitive instincts, thus assuming other representations and claiming the streets and the attentions for themselves.
