The maskarada combines text and dance, and presents two groups: the red ones, including gathuzain or the skilled dancer zamalzain, and the black ones, more wild and tough. It consists of three acts: barrikaden haustea, ofizioak and jolasak.
Last year, the young people of Maule eliminated, as a novelty, the Buhames characters, since they understand that the role given to them is racist.
