Artist Note – From the series “Bolivianos”, In reality, the festive masks are made of stucco or cloth which the dancers wear to cover their psychological masks of submission, indifference and self-inflicted censure, permit them to show their true faces. By virtue of this paradoxical covering to uncovering, all the unconfessed desires, the repressed energies and the hidden resentments overflow in a torrent of colour, movement and melody: a magnificent awakening of a sleeping culture.
