Adding to the artistic feeling from House of Yes, the party will have a theatrical approach to Brazilian culture that has been the company’s signature, featuring performances, big puppets, and art installations inspired by the Pernambuco carnival and the works of Clarice Lispector.
Participate
Partygoers are invited to add to the mix by proposing to bring their own "bloco de carnaval", a group of people offering some form of entertainment to the crowd, being through music, dance or play - a big Pernambuco carnival tradition. Blocos will have access to discounted tickets.
We invite everyone to gather some friends and create their own "bloco de carnaval" and be an active participant of Saravá! Wild Carnival.
