The mural is a tribute to the Ballo dei Diavoli of Prizzi, a celebration of medieval origins that holds deep cultural significance. On Easter morning, the air is thick with anticipation as the townspeople awaken, ready to embrace the light that follows the darkness of Good Friday. The devils, dressed in red and adorned with horned masks, roam the streets with a mischievous and eerie presence, while Death, clad in yellow, leads them with a terrifying fervor. The clash of ringing instruments fills the air, adding to the chaos as the devils seek to disrupt the sacred reunion of the Virgin and the risen Son. Mikhail Albano’s work places the risen Christ in the foreground, depicted as the Tree of Life, standing as a beacon of hope and renewal amidst the turmoil. Yet, even in this victory, the devils and Death linger, replayed year after year, a reminder of the cyclical nature of this ancient tale, with the eternal battle between light and darkness.
