Video documental sobre la simbologia de la fiesta del Kapak Raymi en la parroquia San Lucas - Loja del 2019

Abstract

This work includes all theoretical research and the production process for the preparation of a documentary about the Kapak Raymi festival in the San Lucas parish in the province of Loja. Also, a study of the symbology and significance of the most outstanding features within this holiday is presented. The objective of the realization is to create an audiovisual record to preserve the historical memory of the celebration, which belongs to the four great raymis of the Andean worldview. The importance of Kapak Raymi is found throughout its history, as it is now an event full of cultural syncretism, between indigenous and religious traditions, making it a process of appropriation by community members. Each part of the party has its own meaning and meaning that has been transmitted from generation to generation, where all members of the community are part of the preparation of rituals, music, dance and food. His characters have their own life and each one maintains the indigenous tradition (connected with the Andean worldview to the land) but also incorporates typical elements of Christmas to coincide with the date of celebration.
