by Vieco, Camilo
Description
El Baile de San Pascual is award-winning author Camilo Vieco's first YA Graphic Novel. It is a fantasy epic story set in the Páramos, an endangered enviromnent in Colombia.
In times of scarcity, the community that lives around the páramo of Ocetá organizes a party to ask San Pascual for help. But beware of abusing their generosity because the cost can be very high!
With this graphic adventure novel, the cartoonist Camilo Vieco inaugurates a world of characters and landscapes inspired by peasant life and the Colombian páramos. Cohete Cómics presents Camilo Vieco's first graphic novel as a complete author. This project was developed at the ÉESI in Anguleme while its author was finishing a master's degree in Sequential Art. El baile de San Pascual is an adventure graphic novel inspired by the life of the peasants and the Colombian páramos. Camilo Vieco starts from the syncretism that occurred in Boyacá during the 16th century between the figure of the saint San Pascual Bailón and the Chibcha god Memcatacaquien to create a story about the relationship between human ambition and the laws of nature. This is the story of an irresponsible man who abuses the generosity of the moor, and of Agustina and Ignacio, two brothers who are forced to resolve the chaos caused by their father. In the process, they learn to take care of themselves and encounter fantastic creatures hidden in the heart of the páramo of Ocetá.
