In the first wings, the school intertwined the life of Lampião and his gang with the Northeastern culture popular at the time, with blesseds, repentistas, cordelistas, mourners and mamulengueiros.
The Cangaceiro’s misadventures, at least in life, have already ended in the second car. No less colorful than the first, the allegory showed the death of the gang at the hands of the police.
From that moment, the empress took on a red tone to narrate Lampião’s journey to hell.

There, Cramulhão himself asks his demons to prevent the cangaceiro from entering.
From the third chariot, the school adopts blue as the majority color in the ascent to heaven. Despite a place of peace, the saints begin a great struggle to drive him from there, as is said in the fourth chariot.
In the final allegory celebrating Lampião’s cultural heritage, the highlight was Expedita Ferreira da Silva, daughter of the couple celebrated at the parade.
