The Northeast of Brazil is not massive and unique, Piauí is also a territory crossed by singularities, rich and complex in natural and cultural heritage, which are still to be investigated, recorded, communicated and safeguarded. In this article, we present notes of two inventories of the intangible cultural heritage of the Celebration of Bom Jesus dos Passos, one in 2007 and the other in 2019, in the hinterland of the State. Ten years separate these inventories prepared by an inter and multi-professional team, with the collaboration of the local communities that hold the heritage. We have built diverse looks and perceptions of the world, which have allowed us to collect and record shapes, colours, movements, role-plays, theatrical performances and dialogue mediated between heritage, territories and communities. We were able to narrate memories and stories of the Celebration, which mark the daily life, which deepen the bonds of people's identities with each other. Stories present in the streets, squares, houses, places of memory lived and experienced by devotees in rituals, parties and traditional celebrations of Brazilian culture, northeastern Brazil and Piaui in particular; stories of men, women and children marked by cultural tradition of a present time, in rapid and constant transformation. To carry out participatory inventories is to live with people, to understand that there are no meaningless stories, that it is necessary to find them wherever they are.
