Abstract

The present research consists on a documentary analysis of the history, myths, and legends of the Diablada Pillareña, the development of it is reflected in the use of ICTs which will allow us to know the true meaning of the festival and the events that are behind it and avoid losing this part of the culture in Pillaro Canton of Tungurahua Province. The Diablada Pillareña has its origin in Marcos Espinel Parish, and stands out for being declared as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Ecuador. Bibliographical sources were collected where surveys were applied to measure the knowledge of the dancers and the population of Pillaro Canton which has 38,357 habitants according to data obtained from the INEC, on which a simple of 101 respondents was taken whose result determines that people do not know about the stories, myths and legends that this party encloses. In addition, the information was collected through 10 interviews with the connoisseurs, organizers, researchers and seniors of the sector. Sketches were designed and then scanned and illustrated to graphically represent the collected stories, myths and legends. For the development of the investigation there was only a little information of the stories, myths and legends of the Diablada Pillareña, as a result of the lack of knowledge of the dancers and the population of Pillaro Canton about the subject. It is recommended to spread the created illustrations to encourage young people to know about the origin of this popular festival.
