Granada undergoes a mystical transformation during the El Barrinche festival.
Taking place at the end of January every year it celebrates the theme (and dream) of changing man's relationship with nature.

Escuela se la comedia y el mimo help organise this annual festival.
The group are renowned for their part in the spectacular parade that streams through the historic streets leaving a trail of art, music and theatre.

The El Barrinche combines ancient rituals with educational workshops that look to the future of waste management and sustainability.

Hundreds flock to the city from the surrounding hillsides of Masaya to celebrate the El Barrinche and its all-night parties.

The Escuela work in partnership with MOVITEP and Relajo Nicaragua.
In 2010 the group were also helped by Net MesoAmericana, Caledidoscopio and the Net Maraca.

Come to the Berrinche Ambiental, you won´t regret it.
