La Danza de Quetzalcóatl

Documentary

Brought to life during Dia de Muertos in les Marolles. Ever since slithering through Brussels and Belgium. En route, this handmade carcass of the mythical serpent Quetzalcóatl and its carriers drag the crowd along in a ritual and family dance.

Prior to the performance, children and local residents participate at workshops around percussion, voice, costumes and masks to accompany the snake. Each time escorted by Israel Alonso, Veronica Campos and other artists from the MetX universe.

Where will the giant snake pop up next?
