TEIMOSINHO

An inflatable doll, popularly known as João Bobo or Teimosinho (in free translation stubborn), invites bodies to move through interaction with it.

Conceived and initiated by artist and researcher Flávio Rabelo, the transdisciplinary, durational and participatory action opens up spaces for conversation about stubbornness, art and society.

Synopsis

A bop bag puppet, the artist’s double, proposes a dialogue about stubbornness, art and society through collective action that stimulates an environment of dance, fight and play.
