In the yard there's caruru, chicken xinxim, cake and colorful bladders to decorate: it's the day to celebrate the Erês! The drum plays, bodies move, the erês hear the call and arrive to eat, dance and play. Suzy, the mother of saints who guides the ritual, is a trans woman who fights for the acceptance of LGBTQIA+ people in Candomblé and explains: "The orixá is in the energy, not in the genitalia".
Caruru, chicken xinxim, cake and bladder: it's day to celebrate the Erês! The beat of the drum sounds the call and they arrive to eat, dance and play.
