Crianceiras

Sing, Dance, and Play with Manoel de Barros’s Animated Poems

The "Crianceiras" application invites children to immerse themselves in the whimsical world of Manoel de Barros, one of Brazil's most innovative contemporary poets. This enchanting app transforms his poetic creations into an interactive experience, blending music, animation, and playful elements that encourage children to engage with poetry in novel ways.

Dive into the World of Poetic Adventures

The "Crianceiras" project, originally a CD and a live performance, has evolved into an immersive digital experience. Developed by "invencionática," this application is tailored specifically for young minds who love to explore the extraordinary. With the collaboration of composer Márcio de Camillo and illustrator Martha Barros, the app features ten of Manoel de Barros's poems set to music, accompanied by captivating animations and illuminations.
