OBJECT_DESCRIPTION_EN :

Rosa is the female character in “teatro de robertos”. In keeping with traditional stories, the intention here was to introduce a distinctive element to this figure, whose costumes accentuate her name, but one that removes her from a position of subservience and elevates her to the category of hero.

In this representation, Rosa, after Death has captured Roberto, appears to rescue her beloved from Death, stating the key phrase that makes Death lose, that is, “love conquers death”.

In the story “Diabolical Barber”, and in the story “Castle of Ghosts”, where she also defeats the Giant who chased Dom Roberto away, there is an attempt to create and give female empowerment to the narrative, based on the fact that it is a female puppeteer who brings them to life.
