OBJECT_DESCRIPTION_EN :
The Wild Boar represents the native fauna that depends on this ecosystem for its livelihood. It is an animal that populates our entire territory and is a symbol of wildlife and resistance.
This character came about after the show had already been created as a result of the need to add a comic moment to the show. The purpose of incorporating this comical element was to relieve tense moments that occur during the show.
The manipulation process involves using the right hand to control the movement of the head, and resting the left hand on the floor to simulate the animal's gait. It requires dexterity and coordination on the part of the manipulator, as well as a deep understanding of the animal's movement and anatomy. The head manipulation stick allows for fluid and natural movements, giving it authenticity.
One of the curiosities in the creation of this character is that he was part of the songs on the show's CD. He only appears on stage when the show is performed together with the children of the group “Mensageiros” from “Novaterra, Associação Cultural Arte e Ambiente” association. This combination turns the show into an interactive and participatory learning opportunity. This character's interaction with the children enriches the narrative and reinforces the environmental concepts proposed by the project.
OBJECT_CONTEXT_EN :
The show tackles the theme of nature conservation through allegorical characters who inhabit a threatened ecosystem. Several characters embody the values of preservation and harmony with the environment.
