The performance chooses the natural environment to show the relationship with the \u201cPacha\u201d (Earth), considered sacred.<\/em> \u00a0The costumes of the demons gather masks, images, embroideries and pinned badges, all of it in the colours that mean Carnival. This foreign tradition later acquired its characteristic shades and shape to become an expression of our aboriginal people, a mixture of Spanish and \u201cCriollo\u201d (belonging to the homeland). <br><br>I feel some pictures take us to the ancestral, understood as our ancestors taking care of us from the high and symbolising the sacred.
