In the southern Mexican state of Guerrero, the Nahua adult male dress with jaguar costumes and seriously beat each other in order to have rain for their fields. The bigger and stronger the collective fight is, the more it will rain. Along with traditional music and dances this collective catharsis happens at the catholic day of the holy cross.
