The first to be erected was the effigy of “Luz en el
Océano” (light in the ocean) on Paseo Claussen.
Preparations for Mazatlán’s annual Carnaval, the theme of which this year is “Los Sueños de Momo,” is swinging into high gear as city personnel began installing the traditional gigantic papier mache monigotes along Av. Del Mar yesterday.
In total, 11 of the mythical characters will adorn the Malecón, Plazuela Machado and the Zona Dorada for the festival held this year February 12 through 17.
The first to be erected was the effigy of “Luz en el Océano” (light in the ocean) on Paseo Claussen.
The monigotes are the creative brainchild of Mazatlecan Jorge Gonzáles Neri who has fashioned the eleven different giants naming them in accordance with the Sueños de Momo as: Papageno, Reino de Alicia, Papagena, Nace una musa, Duende de la noche, Cielo de Carnaval, Gracia de Arlequin, Reverencia a Momo, Luz de Luna, Luz en el Océano and Hada.
While installing the Luz en el Océano monigote yesterday, media reported the monigote was lifted too quickly completely breaking the statue’s left arm and damaging the trident.
Workers were nonplussed and immediately set to repairing the monigote which now stands fully anchored on Paseo Claussen across from the Cobaes school.
