This analysis aims at investigating the protests through crosses that occur on Copacabana Beach. The events, organized from the 2000s, do not rely on the presence of protesters, diverging from the traditional form of protest involving overcrowding, banners with messages, slogans and interrupt flows. NGOs, associations and civic groups are responsible for organizing the demonstrations, which always manage spaces in the media. It seeks the origins of this form of protest and its relation to the space where it occurs. It will also raise a history of Copacabana Beach, taking into account the dialectic between the meanings of life and death of some of its most important symbols. Furthermore, the work analyzes the dynamics embedded in the daily ritual space, the subjective aspects relevant to political and religious practices conducted in a location that propagates the utopian picture of the perfect place. The core question of this research is to find out why this type of event that has little to do with local hedonistic feature can attract attention. The assumptions lead us to believe that Copacabana Beach works as a media of far-reaching impact where the protests by crosses are staged. To support this analysis we use extensive bibliography of authors such as Michel Foucault, Paul Zumthor, Mikhail Bakhtin, Yuri Lotman and Manuel Castells
