Bells clashing, spears spinning, warriors charging through the sugarcane fields—Maracatu Rural at its wildest. The Caboclos de Lança surged forward, a blur of sequins and movement, their energy relentless. Drums pounded, the crowd watched in awe, and for a moment, it felt like stepping into another time. I was ready to capture the chaos, the rhythm, the unstoppable force of tradition in motion.
This is a spectacular series! And your narrative complements the photography perfectly.
We have one thing in common, the desire to see “backstage” when performers become regular people again. My first experience was at a fashion show. I slipped backstage and found the models smoking, drinking soda or touching up their makeup. Some, exhausted, just relaxed waiting for the next call.
I cannot help but imagine some future date when, sitting in a darkened theater, I see the screen light up with the words, “A film by Mitchell Kanashkevich”.
Thanks for sharing Mitchell. These are beautiful photographs and the story is even more interesting. Your videos are perfect but so are your articles bravo 👏

Haha. There's already a film still to be sent off... somewhere, haha. So maybe it's possible.
Thank for sharing images of places and people that so many of us would be unable to visit or see.
