Sunday in the Garden: Brazilian music duo and puppet theater by Papa Vento
This Sunday ( December 17), the Domingo no Jardim project will feature the Duo Alexandre Caldi (saxophone and flute) and Bernardo Bosísio (guitar) and the Papa Vento puppet theater. The duo's repertoire includes Brazilian music, from Milton Nascimento to Jacob do Bandolim. Caldi has accompanied artists such as Gilberto Gil and Bibi Ferreira, and Bosísio has played with Leo Gandelman, Paulo Moura and Nico Assunção. The concert takes place in the space next to the bust of Dom João, at 11a.m
The Papa Vento puppet theater company presents "Totó saves Christmas", in the children's playground, at 10 a.m. In the story, two little monsters decide to take all the Christmas trees in the neighborhood, believing that this way they'll get more presents. A very clever puppy discovers their hiding place and rescues the trees, explaining that it's not the number of trees that determines the number of presents, but writing a letter to Santa, as well as being loving, friendly and generous. At the end, Santa hands out presents to the children in the story and to the little monsters.
The music show and puppet show are free. Visitors only pay the entrance ticket to the arboretum.
