description The aim of this paper is to analyze a special type of Christian cult, with feast and dance, among the Wichi (Matako-Maká language family), which is related to the movement of Iglesia Evangélica Unida. The performance of this cult shows the relationship between the feast phenomenon with the past and modernity of a society in transition and tries to define its identity. In this cult the Wichi people seem to put together the functions and the meanings of two former ritual institutions (shamanism and feast) and re-elaborate them adding the power of the Christian ritual too. So the culto-fiesta becomes an occasion of both, reaffirmation of tradition and openness to change and social reproduction, where all the polarities and contradictions of the culture are expressed and where the relationship with the alterity and the novelty is ritualized.
