Radical Hope

Radical Hope is a theatrical and research project exploring hope and transformation through masks inspired by Andean traditions.

​

The project examines themes of hope, transformation, and rebirth through an encounter with cultural roots and identity. In this context, the mask does not conceal identity; rather, it connects it to forces or symbols of power that trigger inner transformations and establish links with the natural world—animals, plants, mountains.

​

The work focuses on three masks: the Huacon (bird-human) from the Mantaro Valley in the Junín region; the Saqra, which brings the diabolical and the grotesque into dialogue, evoking tensions between good and evil; and masks inspired by the “Diablada de Puno,” rituals and dances typical of the  Andes in which opposing forces  confront one another.
