The opening night of Carnival in Recife transformed into a cinematic spectacle as the frevo group Guerreiros do Passo took to the red carpet used at the Cannes Film Festival, where they were featured in the film "O Agente Secreto". This event, held on Thursday at the traditional Clube Carnavalesco Escuta Levino, saw a huge turnout with thousands of revelers gathering in front of the Paróquia Santíssimo Sacramento in the Boa Vista neighborhood, marking a symbolic cultural exchange between Brazil and France.

The original 50 square meters of the Cannes red carpet served as a stage for vibrant performances from the dancers, heralding the start of the Recife Carnival procession. Didier Zaquine, the French artist who brought the carpet to Recife, expressed his admiration for the unique culture of the city, stating that there is no other city in the world quite like it. His presence added an artistic flair to the celebrations and highlighted the interconnectedness of art and culture across borders.

This event represents a significant moment in the cultural calendar of Recife, illustrating how local traditions can intertwine with international art influences. The fusion of frevo, a traditional dance form, with the glamour of the Cannes Film Festival showcases the creativity and spirit of the Brazilian Carnival, while reinforcing the city's identity as a vibrant cultural hub.
