San Francisco South?: "floats showing people gorging themselves with food, drinking themselves unconscious, taking part in orgies, walking naked in the street, and living like a king."
RIO DE JANEIRO – A parade about what people would do if the end of the world were imminent received the most applause at Rio de Janeiro’s Sambadrome and is considered the favorite at this year’s Carnival in that Brazilian metropolis.
Spectators in the rain-soaked parade area of Rio’s downtown shouted out “champion” on Sunday night to the 4,000 musicians and dancers of the Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel samba school, which has not won the title for nearly two decades.
That group’s parade wowed the audience with its elaborate costumes and the creativity of its floats, some of which featured impressive special effects.
Six samba schools paraded until dawn on Monday, while six other schools will take to the Sambadrome between Monday night and the wee hours of Tuesday.
This year’s winning samba school will be announced on Ash Wednesday.
Mocidade paraded under the theme “If the world were to end, what would you do if there were only one day left?” and presented floats showing people gorging themselves with food, drinking themselves unconscious, taking part in orgies, walking naked in the street, and living like a king.
The samba school hired Paulo Barros, the artistic director for winning parades in 2010, 2012 and 2014 and the person behind the group’s elaborate special effects, in a bid to win the title for the first time since 1996.
