Between the sweet music of the Andean harp and the more shrill music of the violin, Qesqento makes its entry into the cultural space of Curasco in an anonymous point of the epicenter of Lima. Dressed in the singular typical Qesqento costume, he is a "danzaq", as in Quechua the scissors dancer is defined. He is carrying a pair of strange shears with which he produces a nagging tinkle that will never stop throughout the dance. The Dance of the Scissors has special anthropological implications of pre-Columbian roots. The dancers are said to have taken this art from the ancient fortune-tellers. At the time of the Spanish colony they called them "the dancers of the house of the devil". It is still a ritual that has no equal throughout the Andean chain
