| This Web page is dedicated to the theater piece Victories of the Ticci C�pac Atahualpa that dramatizes the last battle that generals Calicuchima and Quisquis fought against the Incas and in wich was captured Hu�scar in 1532. This theater piece was written and directed by Carlos Levoyer and the staging has had the participation of the rural Parishes of Quito: about 1500 ancestral dancers. The piece has appeared during two occasions: first during the Interparishal Encounter of Culture Amagua�a 2000 (the17 of June 2000) and later in the San Francisco Plaza (02 of September 2000) when General Paco Moncayo received the Popular Command Baton after winning the elections for the Mayorship of Quito. 1500 ancestral dancers of the Rural Parishes of Quito participated. The fifty principal actors belong to the popular sectors of the present Ecuadorian society. Basically they are masons, tailors, workers, craftsmen, professors of Schools and students. More presentations are being prepared in diverse cities of Ecuador and other countries. The movie is the following step. The text is inspired in the vast bibliographical contribution of the greatest studious of the life of Atahualpa, the Ecuadorian historian Dr. Don Luis Andrade Reimers. This web page is too a homage to this studious man. Also our homage to all the participant artists. |
