Zozobra

[RenzaJones]

I'm working on yet another story and I have a question. How many pepople are familiar with the Zozobra Festival? and what do you think of a story based around the burning tradition?

I've never heard of it, but will be doing a bit of googling shortly.

Is it a festival for transvestite clowns???

 

[RenzaJones]

well you're half right, it's a festival anyway


Zozobra is a hideous but harmless fifty-foot bogeyman marionette. He is a toothless, empty-headed facade. He has no guts and doesn't have a leg to stand on. He is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. He never wins. He moans and groans, rolls his eyes and twists his head. His mouth gapes and chomps. His arms flail about in frustration. Each year the stages the burning of Zozobra, kicking off the annual Fiestas de Santa Fe on the following Labor Day. Zozobra centers around the ritual burning in effigy of Old Man Gloom, or Zozobra, to dispel the hardships and travails of the past year.
