Raquel Mützenberg alias Rakoo de Andrade is a puppeteer and performer, she deploys herself in performative universes at the borders of the body-object and the puppet. Graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts de la Marionnette (2021, France), Rakoo also uses in her artistic impulses the baggage of a degree in Social Communication (2012) and a Master's degree in Contemporary Culture Studies (UFMT ), a line of research in Contemporary Poetics with research on performance and animated forms (2016).
