Tenda São José

The episode Tenda São José, directed by Luiza Fernandes, unfolds through the perspective of Mãe Gildete, Mestra Luizinha, and Manoel Batazeiro, guardians of the Terecô rites, a centuries-old Afro-Brazilian religion originating in the interior of Maranhão. Mãe Gildete, Mestra Luizinha, and Manoel Batazeiro guide the episode through the Terecô temple, a faith that has established over a hundred terreiros across the lowlands of Maranhão. Archival recordings dating back to 1999 capture the extraordinary circular dances, elaborate costumes, and beautiful songs of this unique tradition, brought to life through the voices of these master artists.
