Three-year-old boy embraces Olinda's giant puppet tradition

A three-year-old boy named Matheus Paiva has developed a strong passion for Olinda's giant puppets, even carrying a miniature version of the "Homem da Meia-Noite." Matheus, who lives in Olinda's historic center, is deeply moved by the giant puppets, often becoming visibly excited when they pass by his home. His family has supported his fascination by gifting him miniature versions of the puppets. This young enthusiast's love for the tradition is so profound that he visits puppet workshops and shows a preference for traditional Olinda carnival figures over superheroes.
