    The
    Tunantada
    is a dance performed in the Jauja region of Peru during the January Festival of San Sebatián and San Fabián, patron saints of the town. Dancers in wire mesh masks represent the Spaniards, who oppress the
    chutos
    , or Amerindians.  The dance-drama satirizes all the groups of the colonial period. The
    huatrila
    is a kind of clown
    chuto
    who personifies the first Jaujan (
    Hatun Runa
    ).  It is a group dance, in which each character of the set performs different steps to the rhythm of a single melody.
