Ser Manguezal”,created by Eliseu Cavalcante, was inspired by JosuĂ© de Castro’s book “Of Men and Crabs” from 1967. De Castro was a Brazilian geographer, physician, writer and activist against world hunger. In his book, Castro envisions men as crabs, learning to walk in the mangroves. This relationship between them seems to unify and blend all together making the human being part of that specific biome.
