The caparrots (big-headed figures used in some Catalan traditional holidays representing stereotypes or characters) in the town of Alcúdia (Mallorca, Balearic Islands) during the town's fair.

The characters represent some characters from Mallorcan culture. In order of appearance in the video:

The two knights represent King James I the Conqueror and the Moorish King. James I was the king of Catalonia-Aragon who conquered Mallorca in the year 1229. Before, Mallorca was an Islamic kingdom since the Islamic conquest in the year 903. With James I's conquest, the island was repopulated with settlers from Catalonia, for this reason he is seen as a founder figure of modern Mallorcan culture. The Moorish King figure represents the king who retreated to James I's conquest. For this reason, the dance performed by these two caparrots ressembles a fight.

L'amo de so na Moixa ("the owner of Moixa house") is a character from a folktale who was a very lazy man. One day, he had to carry a flour sack to his home but he was so lazy that, instead of lifting the weight to put the sack on his donkey, he decided to throw the flour to the wind, believing that the wind would take it to his house.

Na Pixedis bruta ("dirty Pixedis"). This is the stereotype of a girl child whose mother wants her to behave in a ladylike way. She dresses her well and wants her to be polite and clean, but the child gets dirty playing on the streets and eats with her fingers getting all her face dirty.

Sa Jaia Tonina ("Grandma Tonina") is a character from Mallorcan folktales. She is a fairy disguised as an elderly woman. She wears traditional Mallorcan clothes and hands out sweets to children.

En Gori dolenteries ("naughty Gori") represents the stereotype of a child who misbehaves. He does so many stupid things that he has grown donkey ears. The more asinine things he does, the bigger his donkey ears grow.

Maria Enganxa ("Maria Hooks"). Character from Mallorcan legends who we talked about before in this post. She is said to live in wells and cisterns and has a hook with which she catches children who wander off too close to the wells.

En Tòfol mentider ("Lying Tòfol") represents the stereotype of a child who tells lies. He has a horn in his forehead representing the saying that liars grow a horn.

Ramon Llull: a writer and Christian theologist from the Middle Ages and one of the most important theologists in Europe's history, as well as one of the most important writers in Medieval literature and Catalan literature as a whole. He lived in Mallorca and has left a strong impression for all these centuries. There are animals coming out of his head representing one of his most famous books, titled The Book of Beasts.

The villagers of Guinyent: Guinyent was one of the Medieval villages whose union created Alcúdia. They carry brooms to (jokingly) hit the people who do bad things.

Caparrots figures have been used in Catalan festivities since at least the 1700s (and some documents show their existence in the 1500s, though they don't seem to be widespread then). But new caparrots are created, since this tradition is very widespread and alive. The ones you see in this video were made in the early 1990s to dance every year in Alcúdia's fair. They were commissioned to Josep Fluxà, one of the best artisans in making caparrots.

Yax Ahk’ as captive impersonating jaguar deity. Maya, CE 700. Monument 155, Tonina, Chiapas, Mexico. Museo de Sitio de Toniná, Mexico, Secretaría de Cultura–Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia

"Identified by the hieroglyphic inscription on his leg, Yax Ahk’, the lord of a place called Anaayte’, along the Usumacinta River on the modern border between Guatemala and Mexico, is shown as a captive impersonating the jaguar god. The flaming jaguar ear and the twisted cord between his eyes are attributes of the deity, a warrior who was himself captured and tortured by fire in primordial war myths."

"I adore Ullrich. I called him on the tenth anniversary of Marco's death and he came here.

At least Jan Ullrich and Marco had fun when they were racing. They were rivals, but they had fun. That's why I looked for him afterwards. I looked for him via newspapers because I wanted to visit him. because I didn't want him to end up like Marco.

It's not worth giving up your life for."

Tonina Pantani.

[mythicalportal]

Amazon river dolphins, known by the natives as the boto, encantados or toninas, are very prevalent in the mythology of the native South Americans. They are often characterized in mythology with superior musical ability, seductiveness and love of sex that often results in illegitimate children, and attraction to parties. Despite the fact that the Encante are said to come from a utopia full of wealth and without pain or death, the encantados crave the pleasures and hardships of human societies.

Transformation into human form is said to be rare, and usually occurs at night. The encantado will often be seen running from a festa, despite protests from the others for it to stay, and can be seen by pursuers as it hurries to the river and reverts to dolphin form. When it is under human form, it wears a hat to hide its blowhole, which does not disappear with the shapeshift.

Besides the ability to shapeshift into human form, encantados frequently wield other magical abilities, such as controlling storms, hypnotizing humans into doing their will, transforming humans into encantados, and inflicting illness, insanity, and even death. Shamans often intervene in these situations.

Kidnapping is also a common theme in such folklore. Encantados are said to be fond of abducting humans with whom they fall in love, children born of their illicit love affairs, or just about anyone near the river who can keep them company, and taking them back to the Encante. The fear of this is so great among people who live near the Amazon River that both children and adults are terrified of going near the water between dusk and dawn, or entering water alone. Some who supposedly have encountered encantados while out in their canoes have been said to have gone insane, but the creatures seem to have done little more than follow their boats and nudge them from time to time
