The Festival of the Kings in La Tola
View through CrossRef
The situation, the population, and the history of the village of La Tola differ quite strikingly from those of Santo Domingo. These differences explain the singularities of the Play in each one of the two villages. This chapter underlines the characteristics of La Tola that are indispensable for the interpretation of the Toleño Play and for its comparison to that of the Santo Domingeños. The lesser intensity of the Play in La Tola also makes its interpretation somewhat easier. Additionally, some of the previous ethnographic information about the Santo Domingeño context is also valid for the village of La Tola. The chapter discusses La Tola's socioeconomic sectors; outmigration from La Tola; the geography of the village; the preparation period of the Play; and the Play in La Tola in the 1970s and in January 1990.
