‘Mare Magvm: the arrival’
"MARE MAGNVM: The Arrival" does not refer only to a single or specific event. No information is given about the characters' origins or personal history. Their faces are not visible, covered by papier-mâché masks typical of Peñafiel's native Ecuador, which both humanize and depersonalize these characters. The identity of these people remains temporally and culturally ambiguous, and nonspecific costumes transform them into archetypal representatives of any diaspora.
