“Kapsis” (Sea Star)

The piece is based in the Prehispanic Mexican Legend “Kapsis” from an unknown author. Kapsis daughter of the Haas chief was surprised immobile and silently watching the sky each night on the beach to contemplate the sky. Kapsis was in love with one particular vastlk (star). One night she returned to the sea, and anxiously looked at the sky in search of the beautiful vastlk. Suddenly, she envisioned how her favourite star was falling from the sky into the sea. Frightened, she ran to the nearest canoe; paddling, she came to the place where he had seen the falling star, and was thrown into the water to rescue her, but in its rapid decline, she fell on a rock and died. Xtamosbin, god of the Oceans, saw the tragedy, and had their hands on the lifeless body of the young Kapsis turning her instantly into a beautiful star sea.
