Description: Andean culture is rooted in balance and respect. The concepts of good and bad, negative and positive in Andean culture are contrary to the concepts of sin and evil in religion imposed on Indigenous peoples by colonialism to this day. The playful demon-like characters represent the profound understanding of life where nothing is perceived as good or bad, just in or out of balance.
