Tributes and Retrospectives - Sérgio Tréfaut
Every week the City of the Dead plays host to weddings. There are amazing parties, which last several days and are always held in the cemetery. The party begins one morning with the setting out of the bride and groom’s mattress. Several days later, the festivities culminate in a knockout party with live musicians, where there’s often alcohol, consumption of hashish... and banknotes flying in the air.
