Boìuna cannot be separated from the long tradition of the Brazilian anthropophagic movement. The name refers to a mythical creature of Amazonian Amerindian origin that has the ability to manifest itself with various appearances—as a snake, a boat, or a ship—in order to seduce and frighten strangers that enter its territory.
