Rabinal-Achi by abbé Brasseur de Bourbourg
"Rabinal-Achi" by abbé Brasseur de Bourbourg is a Maya theatrical work published in 1866. This rare surviving pre-colonial performance piece tells the story of a devastating conflict between two Maya cities through song, dance, and masked drama. When a prince destroys four cities and attempts to kidnap children, he faces trial and execution. Performed annually in Guatemala since the 1600s, this sacred drama uses wooden drums, colorful costumes, and cyclical movement to
preserve Maya history and tradition. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
