Boes and Merdules of Ottana to S. Antonio sent on January 20, 2020 (0:05) by Emmegiu. 43 comments, 2204 views. [retina]

, 1/60 f/5.0, ISO 2000, hand held.

I Boes e sos Merdules avanzano nella notte rischiarata dal fuoco acceso in onore di S. Antonio nella sera del 16 gennaio, è uno spettacolo ancestrale che emoziona sono maschere antiche che risalgono alla notte dei tempi. “Sono le maschere tradizionali di Ottana insieme a “sa Ilonzana maschera lugubre di cui vi parlerò un'altra volta” rappresentano il bue ed il suo padrone. Riassumono quello che era anticamente la vita nel piccolo centro, quando avere un giogo di buoi era quasi tutto, se non tutto quello che si possedeva e significava comunque essere benestanti. Per realizzare le maschere, viene usato prevalentemente il legno del pero selvatico per la sua leggerezza e la pressoché mancanza di venature e nodi. La stella che viene scolpita sulla fronte del "BOE" era di buon auspicio mentre per la figura del pastore "SU MERDULE" detto anche "SU GOBBEDDU" (il gobbo) si tendeva a farla il più possibile brutta e deforme in modo da far paura anche al diavolo e cosi allontanare le sfortune della vita. I Boes (i buoi) sono ricoperti con pelli di pecora e una cintola di cuoio alla quale sono attaccati dei campanacci. I Boes sono rincorsi e tenuti con corde e redini da sos Merdùles, gli uomini, i contadini che in tutti i modi cercano di sopraffare la forza dell'animale nel tentativo di sottometterlo.”

Magistrate shot and light management. As always, the colors are able to bring back to a past atmosphere but real and three-dimensional.
A greeting. David

Dear friend Joseph, such a shot requires in addition to the skill that the heart says the right times.
Beautiful, evocative and characteristic.
The caption is a piece of history and traditions that thankfully continue over time so as not to forget the roots and with how little you "enjoyed" celebrating together.
Congratulations to you but: BIG!
A hug.
Franco

It reminds me a lot of the festival of the Bells that I attended many years ago in San Mauro Forte in Lucania, fascinating and a little esoteric. You made me go back to the periods of civil service, almost 25 years ago : - :-:(
Fascinating and well-crafted Giuseppe (like all your shots ;-) )
A greeting
