La gesta del Carnevale, come dimostrano queste immagini, agenzia Ap, che arrivano dalla Spagna, in gran parte dai villaggi montani dei Pirenei, dimostrano una radice ancestrale che resta attraverso i secoli. Cela un mistero sul caos primordiale e la rinascita sempre temuta e ricercata. Espressione della condizione umana inquieta che scaccia le sue paure.
