These are the main parts of the municipal falla, which were already in the process of being assembled. Unfortunately, yesterday it was announced that all festivities will be "postponed", in the hope that we can stop the coronavirus to spread. (Fallas is a very populous celebration, and thousands of people were expected, many of them from a highly infected area). The problem now is -apart from an economic one- where to store these huge monuments. Some of them are about 15m tall, and there are more than 300 around the city...
By the way, the mask was added last might - the artist has a sense of humour.
This image captures the story perfect, even before reading your description I knew exactly what it was about. There is a connection between the lady walking past and the statue with the face mask, then I spotted the TV crew...
It's something how this virus is affecting so much but it's good that everyone is trying to do their part to halt its progress. Very, funny adding the mask to the display. We need some good humor in this tough times.
Too bad the festival had to be stopped before it began. better safe than sorry. it looks like a great display though and the mask makes a little light of it.
