"BOI CAPRICHOSO " - FOLKLORE - AMAZON LEGENDS - FOLK TRADITION - MYTHS AND FABLES
Until the 1960s, the Bois performed in the houses and backyards of Parintins; from time to time they met on the streets and the sometimes violent confrontation was inevitable. The game was organized, grew, evolved and became a spectacle. The Oxen incorporated the characters, rituals and legends that refer to the inhabitants of the Amazon rainforest, the Indians, the caboclos and the ecological and social issues that afflict them.
Since 1988, they have performed at the bumbódromo, a stadium specially built to host the Festival. The Bois, with approximately 2,500 “players” each, occupy the arena with shows of 2 ½ hours each. The various items that make up the stage enter the bumbódromo following a predetermined order. The oxen - Garantido is white with a red heart on the forehead and Caprichoso is black with a blue star on the forehead - make their evolution under the control and control of the “gut”, hidden under the cloths. The tribes of dancers and dancers form a moving colored carpet. The gigantic allegories, which move and articulate, set the stage for the apotheotic presentation of the prominent figures: the graceful cunhã-poranga, the queen of folklore, the standard-bearer, the little farm lady and the powerful shaman. Everything explained in detail by the presenters and moved to the surrounding sound of the songs sung by the “levadores” of toada and by the beats of more than 250 drums.
