| description | Festivities in the two major American viceroyalties inherited traits from theri forerunners in mainland Spain, which they resembled in may ways. However, the human and cultural contexts were different, so the metropolitan people were replaced by indians and Castes. Each detail in the celebrations carried different messages to awaken in all urban sectors different representations and emotions that would eventually exalt in everybody imperial order in all its facets. These representantion and emotions spanned from admiration to the most rustic hilarity and childish tenderness, thus the relevance of technologically managed special effects. The fantastic and fabulous went hand in hand with circus tricks, and gunpowder played an essential role in creating atmospheres and scenarios inspiring alternately admiration, laughter, and fear. Forefathers of our current mass events, these festivities managed, with the means at hand, to teach, entertain, and fascinate indian subjects of all levels. The special effects and emotions sowed in them the idea of a powerful yet human imperial monarchy. |

Las festividades de los dos grandes virreinatos americanos tuvieron características heredadas de sus antecesoras peninsulares a los que se parecieron en muchos aspectos. Sin embargo, los contextos humanos y culturales eran distintos, de modo que la "plebe" metropolitana fue sustituida por los indígenas y las castas. Dirigiéndose al conjunto de las poblaciones urbanas, cada detalle de la fiesta entrañaba mensajes diversos, que suscitaban representaciones y emociones encaminadas finalmente a enaltecer el orden imperial en sus diversas facetas. Estas representaciones y emociones abarcaban desde la admiración hasta la comicidad más rústica y el enternecimiento infantil. De ahí el recurso a los efectos especiales que las tecnologías del espectáculo proporcionaban. Lo fantástico y fabuloso solían acompañar trucos circenses y la pólvora desempeñó un papel relevante en la creación de atmósferas y escenas que provocaban lo mismo la admiración que la risa o el temor. Antecedentes de las grandes manifestaciones de masa de nuestra época, estas festividades lograron, con los medios de entonces, efectos que contribuyeron a enseñar, divertir y admirar a los súbditos indianos de cada sector. Efectos y emociones que contribuyeron a afianzar en ellos la percepción de una monarquía imperial poderosa, cercana y a la vez humana.
