Why the gorilla and what is Pachakutiq ?

With its fierce energy and big warm heart, our `Pachakuti` gorilla is the perfect mascot and symbol of the unstoppable force born from love, art and music coming all together to make something great...

....so great that it deserves the word Pachakutiq which means `he who shakes the earth` and brings great new things and transformation...

The author of our magnificent mascot is a Croatian artist, Marina Stoponja, and she was more than excited to lend us her creation for the festival. If you would like to know more about the gorillas, check out our `Why the gorilla` page.

We said every festival we will be donating 10% of our ticket sales to these mighty creatures, so all festival ticket holders will automatically support the gorillafund.org

Some last year apes...
