Pernambuco‟s countryside, which is founded in a process of exploration base on acute land concentration, predominance of sugar cane monoculture and slavery legacy, is characterized by a socioeconomic structure that incites social tensions related to work relations. It‟s in this context that Cavalo Marinho‟s manifestation emerges, expressing a symbolic discourse about the reality. This research tries to understand how typical work relations are represented on a specific Cavalo Marinho‟s plot, transcribed by Oliveira (2006).
