It is a contemporary dance spectacle which goes from belief and Faith of vaqueiros* and boiadeiros* (cowherd men) of Pernambuco in the religious tradition of Jurema Sagrada** (Sacred Jurema). This spectacle counts on co-authorial by artists Aldene Ferreira, Emerson Dias and Mestre Ulisses Cangaia, and is based on research that digs deep into the characteristics that compose these figures. In this intersection between types and their characteristics creates an imaginary effect of this art.

Chetuá Chetuá has succeeded in doing a singular fusion, supported by a corporal playwright, with is head by the voice, the affection, the gestures, and believes present in the popular imaginary over the types of vaqueiro and boiadeiro. So, chanting, costume and movements fuse within a spectacle that finds in Faith, the representation of the Brazilian Northeast people’s identity. This spectacle participated in the Encontro Trocadilho 2014, as a work in process.
