In the context of the region's festive dances and carnivals, the rabbit represents several elements. Ancestrally, the rabbit is strongly linked to fertility, the moon, and cycles of agricultural abundance. Within the groups or troupes, the characters who wear zoomorphic masks of animals such as rabbits, goats, or badgers fulfill the role of jesters or creators of chaos. Their job is to interact directly with the public, make jokes, playfully scare children, and guide the rhythm of the parade by breaking the rigidity of the dance lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is sourced from Bazar de Lalo, our flagship partner in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
