DescriptionRetablo based on a traditional Andean folk tale, Tale of the Fox and the Condor. A nosy Fox wanted to attend Owl’s wedding in the sky, where only other birds were permitted. Clever Fox befriended Condor in order to gain an invitation. After the ceremony, as Fox descended on a rope, he insultingly shouted to parrots to watch that their beaks did not cut his rope. Offended, the parrots did just that and Fox fell down and died. Moral: Mind your own business.
