The Reinvention of Carnival
The Unexpected Revival of Carnival
In the 1960’s, we thought we could predict the death of Carnivals, often considered as a childish feast or a folkloric demonstration, this never happened. More than fifty years later, the Carnival is doing well. Everywhere, rural masquerades and urban parades are reborn and reinvent themselves, seeking to reconnect with very old rites or inspired by traditions that have come from afar.
