CORPUS IN THE LAND OF THE INCAS

DVD available in www.paginasdelperu.com
Each year Cusco celebrates two capital holidays, one right after the other. Each year, like the two faces of a coin, Corpus Christi precedes Inti Raymi. Two holidays where the Andean ethos of the ancient Capital of the Inca Empire is not only preserved but receives new forces. Remote creations from ancient pre-Columbian cultures, many times absorbed and transformed as they melted with the occidental heritage. This way the Sun of the Incas will turn into a visual metaphor of Christ. Ancient Inca emblems will be redefined to resemble the solar disc in the Holy Monstrance, as an image of the Son of God, center of the universe and synthesis of Time and History.
