Candela is a street parade and show for performing in squares
in which music, theatre and fireworks join forces to explain legends of
Colombian mythology: the music comes from the Afro-Colombian folklore
of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts; the theatre takes the shape of interaction
with the audience, the creation of dolls based on Colombian legends, the
technique of stilts, masks, colours, dances; the fireworks fill the events
with light, colour and surprise. . Rompe
Candela represents the fight between good and bad. The characters
are legends, symbols of Colombian culture and show the balance lived
by the world. The music and devils use joy to fight against the black
ambitions of those dark people on stilts. The dolls accompany the devils
in their defence of good.
The
Palo Q’Sea company was born in 1987 in Pereira, Colombia. Its
members come from different backgrounds, lending it particular diversity
and freshness. Palo Q’Sea also reflects the mixed races of the
Colombian people. These characteristics give rise to a group with enormous
character, open, happy and warm, the philosophy of which is to make
known Colombian culture in order to demonstrate its spiritual, artistic
and historic wealth.
