The Representation of "La Diblada" in Pillaro

Pillaro is recognized to national scale for the representation of the so famous "Diablada", but for many pillareños and ecuadorian people this it is a representation that nobody knows its origin.
It is so after a long investigation with several characters of this land. We have found the roots of their celebration.

One of the ideas that the Indian assumed around the devil is the only one able to rebel before the overload of the colonial Christianity. for the devil the Indian doesn't have neither he suspects neither chastities about sex and but well it was free in the love, era polygamist and he didn't have blame feelings, era idolizes and pagan in opposition to the Christian idolatry. This way, the languages of difficult linguistic structures were combated with the death of their speakers on the part of certain priests like diabolical inventions. Equal destiny had the writing, according to this; the Christianity arrives to the Indian as a mental and cultural model of annulment of the freedoms.

The Indian dances jumps and he is happy transformed in devil. He imagines the faces in the masks that can belong to their own oppressors or to those that he would want to have to scare those who disable their freedom.
