1. Abstract
MANY THINGS WE HAD PLANNED, SUCH AS FESTIVALS OR TRADITIONS
WE USED TO CELEBRATE, HAVE COME TO A HALT SINCE THE COVID-19
PANDEMIC BEGAN, AND ONE OF THESE IS THE MORIONES FESTIVAL. WE'VE LOST
SIGHT OF WHAT THE ART OF PERFORMING WAS ALL ABOUT, WITH SELF-
ISOLATION AND THINGS DONE ONLINE NOW. THE MORIONES IS A STREET PLAY
THAT HAS BEEN PERFORMED SINCE THE 1870S DURING HOLY WEEK.
FOR THIS REASON, THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESEARCH PROPOSAL IS TO INCREASE
AWARENESS OF THE MORIONES FESTIVAL AND HIGHLIGHT THE SIGNIFICANCE
OF ITS CELEBRATION. AS A FORM OF ATONEMENT FOR SINS COMMITTED OR FOR
OTHER SIMILAR REASONS, PENITENTS WEAR MASKS AND COSTUMES SIMILAR
TO THOSE WORN BY ROMAN SOLDIERS. THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, THE
PENITENTS ROAM AROUND TOWN DRESSED IN MASKS AND GLAMOROUS
COSTUMES, REENACTING THE BIBLICAL STORY OF LONGINUS.
