O Condor e a Festa do SangueThe Condor and the Ceremony of Blood
Every year the Feast of Blood is celebrated in the Andean village of Coyllurqui. The "Yawar Fiesta", as it's locally known, is a bullfight where a condor, representing the Andean, is tied to the back of a bull, which symbolizes the Spanish. With this ritual, the Indian attempts to humiliate the conqueror. This is the reason why this symbolic confrontation was integrated in the commemorations of the Independence of Peru. In 2001 the "Yawar Fiesta" was held on the same day the first Indian president of Peru took power. This documentary seeks to live the full intensity of a ritual that, after centuries of representing a dream, finally celebrates a fact.
