Resumen
El presente artículo analiza la importancia del erotismo, la sexualidad y el humor en las danzas del altiplano boliviano. Demuestra que estos elementos performativos no solo están fuertemente interconectados, sino también íntimamente ligados a la sacralidad andina. La primera parte del texto está dedicada a los componentes humorísticos y lúdicos del enamoramiento mediante la danza, postulando que humor y alegría forman parte del “erotismo andino”. Mientras tanto, la segunda parte estudia el “transformismo ritual andino”, que consiste en presentaciones dancísticas sumamente jocosas y fuertemente sexuadas a cargo de hombres hetero y homosexuales disfrazados de mujer.

The first part of the text deals with the humoristic and playful components of wooing thorough dance, suggesting that humor and happiness are part of “Andean eroticism”. The second part studies “Andean ritual transformism”, consisting in extremely funny and strongly sexual dance presentations by both heterosexual and homosexual men dressed as women.
