SUMMARY:Dancing Devils of Yare
DESCRIPTION:The Dancing Devils of Yare (Diablos Danzantes de Yare)\, a religious festivity representing the victory of good over evil through ritual dance performed by all male Dancing Devils\, has been celebrated since the 18th century in San Francisco de Yare\, Miranda State\, Venezuela. The Dancing Devils of Yare were recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2012. \nThe Sociedades del Santísimo (Societies of the Holiest)\, the oldest brotherhoods in the American continent\, are in charge of the celebrations. The brotherhoods are divided in hierarchical order\, represented by the number of horns in their masks.  Their celebration costumes comprise red shirts\, trousers and stockings\, a mask depicting a devil\, scapulars\, crosses\, rosaries\, and other sorts of amulets\, and carry in one hand a devil-shaped maraca and in the other a whip. \nThe folkloric festivity devotion is paid to the town’s patron Saint Francis de Paola\, to the Blessed Sacrament\, and to Jesus Christ as the devoted perform dances around the town’s main square and parade through the streets. \nLater in the day\, they move towards the front of the main church and once mass has ended the Eucharist is placed at the church’s entrance\, and a representation of a fight between the devils and the guardians takes place. Finally\, the devils surrender and kneel in front of the Eucharist to show submission. \nThis exhibition is a PhotoTapas event\, celebrating February as Arizona’s month of photography. \n \nAbout Gina Santi \nGina Santi was born and raised in Caracas\, Venezuela.  She graduated in Industrial Relations from the Universidad Católica Andrés Bello\, Caracas.
