The Group Giramundo is undeniably the most important puppet theater group in Brazil and in all South America. Alvaro Apocalypse, the group’s head for more than
40 years, was a great researcher in the area of puppet animation. Having trained hundreds of followers around Brazil, he left published educational material that still informs many followers of this art. His group has its
headquarters in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, and keeps its amazing heritage of more than 1,000 puppets in a museum open to the public. The group has taken part of dozens of international festivals, and has been honored with many awards and prizes. Alvaro died in
2003; his work was featured at the Prague Quadrennial of that year.
