Dobre Quadratura - Lois Patiño e Jorge Perianes
This exhibition extols the baroque spirit of the Casa do Cabido, promoting the idea of the mystery hidden behind the stony cloth of its façade. And, as in the old pictorial technique of Quadratura, in which artistic trickery (trompe- l'œil) caused the figures to float in an imaginary ascent towards the firmament, the artists Lois Patiño and Jorge Perianes intervene in the space of the rooms, creating their singular scenic act.

The “Xenerais da Ulla” is the most outstanding feature of the Ulla region’s traditional Carnival. It has been held in the surroundings of Santiago since the first half of the 19th century: the “Xenerais” (generals) ride on horseback, dressed in colourful military garments similar to those of that time, but they also include purely carnivalesque adornments, which the horses also wear.
