More than 400 actors and traditional dancers will take part in the dramatization of the appearance in Lake Titicaca of mythical couple Manco Cápac and Mama Ocllo, founders of Inca Empire according to local legends.
The play will be performed on November 3rd and 5th, celebrating the 341st anniversary of Puno.
Jenny Silva Quispe, President of Regional Federation of Culture and Folclore, informed the representation will last several hours: "The idea is to present a great show with more than 400 actors,” she pointed out.
According to her, Manco Cápac and Mama Ocllo characters will make their ceremonial appearance at Iscata Isle at Acora at 6:00am and will offer a ritual to the Pachamama before starting their voyage through the lake, towards Chucuito.
After the play, there will be a dancing contest, which winners will dance during the 2010's Virgen de la Candelaria festivities.
