Festival history

Residents from the ejido (communal land) 'Los Cuates de Australia', in Northeast Mexico, perform every year a massive exodus in the search for water during drought. In this exile, men, women, elders and children wait for the first drops of water to return to their lands, metaphor of a small town that hides from death.
