The programme ‘Crónicas de San Borondón’ on La Radio Canaria will air this Friday at 22:00, with a repeat broadcast on Sunday at midnight. This episode will delve into the representations of death and the devil in art throughout history.
Programme director José Gregorio González will engage in conversation with art historian and heritage communicator Ana Victoria Moruno. González stated, “We will explore how art has depicted the aspects of death and dying, as well as the figure of the Devil.”
The episode will also dedicate time to discussing macabre dances and vanitas, alongside stories of curses associated with art. Anthropologist Fernando Hernández will review the traditions of ‘finaos’ in the Canary Islands, with a particular focus on the ‘Velorio de los Angelitos’, a ceremony held following the death of children.
Additionally, Professor Ricardo Martín from the segment ‘El Gabinete del Curioseante’ will address the mystery of Kaspar Hauser, while regular contributor Manuel Díaz Noda will analyse curiosities and connections with the ‘Terminator’ film saga.
