Saqra (Quechua for malignant, pernicious, bad, bad tempered, wicked / restless / devil, a synonym of supay; but, unlike Supay, a Saqra entity just plays innocent tricks. Mostly it is represented with animal figures.) is a traditional dance in the highlands of the Cusco Region in Peru. The dancers are dressed as animal figures.
It is performed at feasts in honor of patron saints such as Mamacha Carmen in Paucartambo and Virgen del Rosario de Huallhua in the San Salvador District of the Calca Province.
