The script for this year aimed at Bicentennial, was amazing and unforgettable moments: giant horses, a magnificent interpretation of San Martín curzando Los Andes, in the nearby hills; the procession of the Virgin of Carrodilla; and a unique moment in which nearly 300 couples danced the tango Mariano Mores, Tanguera. The choreography was really sensational. On Saturday March 6 at the Frank Romero Day Greek theater, built at the foot of the hills bordering the Parque General San Martin, the main event of the Harvest was developed. This Festival brings together nearly 20,000 people seated thousands while others are located in the surrounding hills to witness a spectacle in which more than 700 artists put the body to give life to a script that is selected every year by a specialized jury. Over 400 technicians make it possible to deploy a scenario that integrates both the particular architecture of the theater as the surrounding hills. A typical characteristic Mendoza light boxes are handcrafted to combine light and volume, shaping a unique scenery.

The colors of the Fatherland (blue and white) achieved their aesthetic expression with various media.
