LOS PASCOLEROS – TARAHUMARAS 85

“The underside, in the wings of the staging of the Passion in the village of Norogachic. The secret initiatory rites of two Pascoleros, filmed for the first time, are at the centre of this document.” (Raymonde Carasco)

“Day is breaking, slowly. The cocks crow dozens of times at daybreak. And there, the miracle happens. The Pascoleros begin to dance. Their first steps are drunken. But they soon find the rhythm. You can hear the tapping of feet on the beaten earth. Day is breaking. The cocks are crowing at the top of their voice.” (Raymonde Carasco)
