"For the Yawalapiti, the mythic world is a past that is not connected to the present through strict chronological ties. Thus, myth exists as a spatial and temporal reference, but mainly provides behavioral models. The ceremonies are the occasion par excelence for replicating these models, but their privileged relation with the world of myth above all symbolizes the impossibility of repeating that world, except in an imperfect way. The ritual is thus a moment when daily life is closer to the ideal model presented in myth, without however being able to attain it." <br />

  • Despite being the local host of this Indigenous Festival, the Guarani people are usually very shy, and just a few of them went to the Festival. Around Bertioga town there are communities in  Guarani's lands. They survive between the transition of being indigenous with access to all the city's culture and consume, but being poor and denied by the local community.<br />
But this time they were more than the last two years; a larger group reflecting being secure and proud by their tradition.
