Baile de las Canastas (Dance of the Baskets) celebrates the change from a semi-nomadic hunters’ society to an agricultural civilization. Today it is performed as a series of set scenes using masks, dance, music, dialogue, and mime. The performance takes its name from the tall baskets worn by the dancers.
Producido y grabado por Henrietta Yurchenco. El Rabinal Achi es uno de los pocos textos literarios precolombinos que sobrevivió a la Conquista, una historia de proporciones épicas que, como otros dramas prehispánicos, emplea canciones, danza, mímica, máscaras y declamación.
El baile de las canastas, por su parte, celebra el cambio de una sociedad de cazadores seminómadas a una civilización basada en la agricultura. Está compuesto por una serie de escenas que emplean máscaras, música, danza, y diálogos. El baile toma su nombre de las canastas que usan en la cabeza los participantes.
