    Annotation:

    On January 1, a masquerade or "obisparra" called Los Carochos is celebrated in Riofrío de Aliste (Zamora) in which eleven characters, some masked, of which two of them, the carochos or devils, are the ones that give name to the whole through a synecdoche. The pre-theatrical action, although in some moments you can talk about participation theater, it is complex, exciting, bustling and fun and takes place in the streets and in a town square converted into a stage for playful exaltation. The actions are interspersed with preset formulas, parliaments and dialogues, but not closed and with couplets, some of the classical folk heritage and new ones every year. The festival declared of Regional Tourist Interest since 2002 is well known and is disseminated in the networks and in the press, written and digital. We will analyze what space orality occupies against the plasticity of masks in all digital media.
