In this Sunday, March 29, 2015 photo, hats lie scattered after being tossed by dancers during a performance at the Vencedores de Ayacucho dance festival, in the Acho bullring in Lima, Peru. “The dance is a catharsis, a way for people to express feelings they cannot in other public spaces”, said Peruvian archaeologist Carmen Cazorla, who studies Andean rituals. The one-day dance competition is the culmination of the Andean Carnival celebrations that begin in late January in Peru's Ayacucho region and wrap up in Lima, to include the large Ayacucho Indian population, who fled to Lima during the 1980-2000 conflict.
