Vol. 2 No. 32 (2025): The Stage of Celebration: Rituals, Festivities, and Community

This edition of Móin-Móin magazine investigates animated forms as central axes of collective celebration and ritual. Under the title "The Stage of Celebration," the volume analyzes how puppets, masks, and objects transcend entertainment to become operators of social cohesion. The festivities are presented as a territory where routine is suspended and hierarchies dissolve in favor of a profound union. Anthropologically, the animated object is an heir to the sacred, acting as a bridge between the visible and the invisible. Through a "double consciousness," the spectator accepts life within matter, allowing animation theater to reconstruct identities and mediate conflicts in communities affected by crises or historical erasure. The object thus becomes a sign of power and resistance.
