Giant Carnival Puppets in Formal Dress

These giant puppets are the iconic Bonecos de Olinda, towering figures paraded during Carnival. Crafted from papier-mâché and fabric, they portray famous personalities and local archetypes with playful exaggeration. Emerging in the 1930s, these puppets embody Pernambuco’s humor and creativity, transforming the streets of Olinda into a stage of collective joy.
