The Center of Peruvian Arts will Perform at this important event.
The performances are an important means of expressing Peruvian Indigenous heritage – past, present, and future adopting a ‘best practice’ approach and encouraging respect for the cultures of Indigenous. This performance expresses the native life through his or her relationship with land, waterways, animals, and plants, and his or her relationships with other people.
The performances incorporate different art forms based on the expressions of the Indigenous Peruvian people – ceremony, storytelling, celebration, mourning, coming together, and telling of events in Indigenous people’s lives, both past and present times, and divided into categories of traditional and contemporary. In this transmission, the viewer can enjoy the conservation of the ceremonies, storytelling, preserving the language y some indigenous experiences. In this performance, we attribute to all Indigenous cultures, the source community, writers, actors, dancers, directors, designers, choreographers, technical personnel, and cultural consultants who contributed to the work at all stages. In this way, we can be continuing with the vision of the Indigenous people that have a responsibility to ensure that the practice and transmission of Indigenous cultural expression are continued for the benefit of future generations.
