Considered one of the world's largest popular festivals, the Rio de Janeiro Carnival brings together millions of participants from all over the world every year. For several days, the "Marvelous City" is completely mobilized by this unique event, which takes various forms: urban parades in the streets and avenues of the metropolis, popular masquerades, private balls organized by the great palaces or by artist communities, parades of samba schools on the sambadrome, the highlight of this cultural event. Colorful costumes, feathers, sequins, luxurious masks and makeup, magnified bodies, multicolored floats... the Rio Carnival immediately conjures up images of excited crowds dancing and singing to the rhythm of the samba. Beyond a certain exuberance, these collective parades are a true cultural phenomenon, reinvented each year, which draws its origins from the history of Brazil, through its diversity and the cohesion of its peoples. The National Center for Stage Costume and Scenography offers an immersion into this carnival world, an exceptional living heritage, through the Rio Carnival exhibition , presenting more than a hundred costumes generously loaned by samba schools, costume designers, sewing workshops, and carnival-goers in Rio. This book brings together various texts that reflect the creativity, fantasy, and specificities of this carnival, as many testimonies of this artisanal know-how and this popular communion in the art of collective entertainment.
