This thesis is composed of a full-length documentary and a written document. The object of research is a set of stagings about the beginning of the Great Rebellion, led by Tupac Amaru II, which takes place every November in the districts of Tinta, Tungasuca and Sangarara —called Tupac Amaru villages or lands—, and belonging to the Cusco provinces of Canchis, Canas and Acomayo, respectively. The ethnographic observation and audiovisual recording of these commemorative events in the years 2021 and 2022, generated questions about who and how those events are represented and opened questions about the tensions, negotiations and agreements that emerge within the populations in those events. The thesis is built on the debates between performance and memory studies, but also analyzes the indigenous and Incaist stage tradition of the Andes and the modes of representation of film productions that took place in the southern area of Cusco during the second half of the last century. The central axis of the fieldwork was to follow the actor who plays Tupac Amaru II in the productions, Robert Paucara Churana. Through his transformation process (from person to character), other stories and memories of the inhabitants of the mentioned provinces are branched out in relation to the representation of a crucial event of their collective memory. This work constitutes an important contribution to Visual Anthropology and to the production of Peruvian and Latin American non-fiction for the unveiling of a little known performative practice in relation to one of the most important historical figures of the continent, and for the close look to the Andean populations, because the researcher is of Quechua origin.
