It’s an expression that acknowledges a feeling of awe
not always easy to express: there was the me who entered the theatre and the altered me who came out
The two exist simultaneously in a kind of ecstasy
a word that speaks of a powerful out-of-body experience
Encantado not only seeks to provide that experience to an audience

Brazil— A statue of Christ is being built in Brazil that will be larger than the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue of Rio de Janeiro
which has been under construction since 2019
will be called Cristo Protector and is being erected on the Cerro de las Antenas
a hill near Encantado in the state of Rio Grande do Sul
The project was planned to be completed by the end of 2021
but the state government extended the deadline until the end of January 2022
Christ the Protector will be 140 feet tall
16 more than the Christ the Redeemer in Río de Janeiro
Christ the Protector will be 118 feet wide hand to hand
visitors will be able to take an interior elevator to the heart on the statue’s chest
from where they will have a panoramic view of Encantado
the Christ the Protector statue surpasses Christ the Redeemer
The arms of Christ the Redeemer stretch 92 feet
Christ the Protector has a budget of approximately $364,000 and has been financed by the local community
especially by the “Amigos de Cristo,” a non-profit association which seeks to promote “faith and devotion” with the monumental project
Christ the Protector was designed by the sculptor Genésio Gomes de Moura and his son
signed an agreement with the mayor of Valle de Taquari for paving the roads that will allow visitors to reach Christ the Protector
A small town in southern Brazil has constructed a statue of Jesus Christ that is even larger than the famous “Christ the Redeemer” statue in Rio de Janiero
a town of about 23,000 people in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul
nearly 1,000 miles south of Rio de Janeiro
known as “Cristo Protetor” or “Christ the Protector” on April 22
The project was funded by a local volunteer organization called the Associação Amigos de Cristo (Friends of Christ Association)
“The Associação Amigos de Cristo de Encantado … announces that the first stage of the construction of the complex (the construction of the monument) is being concluded, lacking only the internal coating and its pedestal,” the organization said in a statement on its website
so far more than 37,500 visitors have been able to see the Christ being built and have been able to contribute directly or indirectly to the project.”
The AACE added that the second phase of construction, which will build the surrounding structure and tourist complex around the statue, will begin soon, and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2022. Travel and Leisure magazine notes that the completed complex will have shops
and other viewing points around the statue
“The city of Encantado and the entire region of Vale do Taquari is already preparing to offer more tourist attractions to all visitors that are expected,” AACE said on its website
The statue stands at a total height of about 140 feet
making it more than 40 feet taller than the world-famous “Christ the Redeemer” statue in Rio de Janeiro
The arm span from hand to hand measures at around 128 feet
The statue also has a heart-shaped opening in the chest area
Visitors will be able to take an elevator inside the statue up to the platform
where they will be able to look out on panoramic views of the town of Encantado
as well as Lake Garibaldi and the Taquari Valley
“It will be a glass opening from where people will be able to film and photograph the valley,” Artur Lopes de Souza
Without taking the pedestal into account, the statue measures 37.5 meters (about 123 feet) in height, making it the largest Christ statue in the world, the website states. Including the pedestal, it is the third largest Christ statue in the world, behind the Jesus Buntu Burake statue in Sulawesi, Indonesia, and the statue of Christ the King in Swiebodzin, Poland, the New York Post notes
The complex is expected to open to visitors in 2023
