In the P’urépecha of Michoacàn, a state of central Mexico on the Pacific coast, has been practised a spectacular game since ancient times, following rules handed down orally over time. Linked to the fire deity divinity Curicaveri, the personification of the Sun, the players of this game challenge each other with a wooden club and a ball of wood and rope, sprinkled with a flammable substance and lit during the game. Spirituality and game meet in this timeless practice.
