The History of the Fallas
- The Fallas festival is an expression of tradition, satire, art and sentimentality for one's homeland, where everything that is bad is burnt and reborn from the ashes to welcome a new season.
- Typically, just before spring, in the city streets, the guilds stopped working at night and burned the rustic parot (a wooden device used for lighting) in front of each workshop.
- To feed the fire, these artisans accumulated old strips and chips of wood together with old junk collected from the neighbourhood. Afterwards, the parot would be brought to life with rags, giving it a human form, with an old hat as the head, and so the Ninot figure was born. These figures were then placed on a pedestal so they could be seen in the distance.
- The festivities program for the Fallas Week originates from the history of the Fallas to this day.
- An example of it is the “ninot indultat” (pardoned ninot), a tradition that was asked for by the people. This lead to an exhibition of the best figures, one per Falla, with the general public as the jury, and these were saved from being burnt.
- All the pardoned ninots are exhibited in the Fallas Museum.
