Born from Culture:
Bolivia
In this episode of Born from Culture, we head to Bolivia to explore Caporales and Diablada, two traditions brought to life through dance, music, elaborate costumes and masks. More than performance, they carry stories of history, identity and community, passed through generations and kept alive on the streets of Bolivia today.
"In Bolivia, we dance for the sacred. Our carnivals carry both the beliefs of our ancestors and those that came after them, Pachamama alongside the Virgin, ancient spirits alongside Christian faith. Through dance, these worlds do not replace one another : they meet, coexist, and remain alive."
— Huaskar Alcòn,
Choreographer, Movement Director, Dancer
