The Cumaná Devil at Fmovies. Venezuelan documentary that centers on Luis del Valle Hurtado, an artist from Cumaná, one of the first European settlements in the Americas, who, for over three decades, has embodied the Diablo de Cumaná (Cumaná Devil) during annual festivities. Del Valle's performance is a fusion of Indigenous, Spanish, and African influences, where he transforms into a drumming, dancing black Satan. His portrayal draws inspiration from various sources, including the myth of Saint Michael the Archangel, the behavior of cats—animals often linked to witchcraft—and his own dreams, creating a unique and personal interpretation of the devil. Through this ritualistic dance, the documentary delves into themes of cultural syncretism, identity, and the enduring power of traditional expressions in Venezuela.
