In the center of Sardenya, in different towns of the territory of Barbagia, strange and archaic traditions live well anchored. Practiced by the inhabitants, ancestral cults, they represent an intense and brutal relationship that human beings maintain with the wild and carry a mystical, spiritual and sacred value, with a cathartic and liberating purpose. These costumes belong to a time that does not belong to us. The mask is a destination, the link between a disturbing relationship between being-animal and divinity. Wearing a mask means metamorphosing into the form of another entity. What these masks produce as threatening and disturbing does not have the function of scaring the other but of provoking a relationship with “the other”. The inhabitants of this region use the expression animas to define something that has no time or body, of disturbing, wild weather, what is specifically non-human and serves to live an experience.
