RIO CARNIVAL, “UNIAO DA ILHA” SAMBA SCHOOL 2016 PREQUEL, BY PAUL HODGE, PART 3, CHAPTER 64

Paul Hodge’s HD video is Part 3 of a HD video three-part series chronicling the entire performance of the “Uniao Da Ilha” Samba School at the Rio Carnival 2015 Samba School Parade Competitions in Rio’s Sambadromo. “Uniao Da Ilha” is a samba school in Rio de Janeiro and represents the neighborhood of Ilha do Governador. The school was founded in 1953, and its colors are blue, red and white. Its Drummers’ Queen is Bruna Bruno, the President is Ney Filardi and its Carnavalesco is Alex de Souza. For the 2016 Rio Carnival Samba School Parade Special Group championship, the school is scheduled to be the second school to perform on the Special Group's first day of competitions at 10:05 pm the evening of Sunday, February 7, 2016. The school's 2016 performance theme, “enredo”, is entitled: “Olympic in nature … Everyone is meeting in Rio”. The theme will celebrate the city during the run-up to the 2016 Olympic Games by welcoming, educating, and cautioning those arriving to city while linking their arrival to the descent of the gods from Mount Olympus. For the 2015 Rio Carnival Samba School Competitions, the school’s theme was entitled: “Pure Beauty?” The theme dealt with the concept of beauty and Plato’s words that “Beauty is the spender of truth.” The performance explored topics such as people’s obsessions with beauty, the equating of beautiful with good, ugly and bad, and the suffering people endure for beauty.
