This giant was created as a result of a partnership between OSGEMEOS and Plasticiens Volants, situated in the southwest of France, makers of giant inflatable puppets. These giant puppets become characters of beautiful stories, enacted in various urban spaces. The first contact of OSGEMEOS with Plasticiens Volants happened through an invitation to join the Cultura Nova Festival in Heerlen, the Netherlands. The curator of the festival presented the Brothers to the group and together they created the tale O Estrangeiro (Portuguese for The Foreigner), whose central character is a 20 meters high giant, created by OSGEMEOS. This giant was painted on the side of one of the buildings on the site of the show presentation, in a public park in Heerlen. After this first performance, OSGEMEOS and Plasticiens Volants had the idea of doing this same project in São Paulo, which happened in November 2009, in partnership with SESC, in the Anhangabaú valley, in São Paulo.
