At the Imperatriz carnival parade in Brazil, a striking 20-meter tall, 4-ton werewolf captured the audience’s attention as part of the school’s float. The float was designed by Leandro Vieira and was inspired by the popular song "O Vira" sung by Ney Matogrosso, which is woven into the theme of the float reflecting a magical night in the forest. Vieira explained that the sculpture is not only large but also agile, operated by a dedicated team of 13 professionals from Parintins who expertly manipulate its parts.

The werewolf was crafted from a unique material composed of 300 kilograms of sisal grown in Bahia. The mechanical aspects of the sculpture were designed for both aesthetic appeal and performance, with hydraulic systems that allow for realistic movements. The float aims to honor the roots of Brazilian folklore while captivating the spectators with its grand scale and mythical representation.

The inclusion of such an elaborate piece highlights the creativity and technical skill involved in carnival floats, a hallmark of Brazilian culture. As the float glided through the parade, it brought to life the rhythm of the samba and the depth of Brazilian musical heritage, resonating with themes of transformation and the magical realm, symbolized through the werewolf motif.
