TEIMOSINHO

An inflatable doll, popularly known as João Bobo or Teimosinho, invites the bodies to move through interaction with it.

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

Synopsis

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