Fallas Valencia 2025 - Falla Na Jordana

Artist: Mario Gual.

Prize: 3rd Special Section.

Cost: 180.000 Euros.

"A fortune teller is hired to read cards to discover what will happen during the 2025 Valencia Fallas festival.

Tarot cards reveal the existence of a magician who randomly awards prizes by pulling the names of the successful commissions out of his top hat. Bad luck is embodied by the devil, who preys on punishing commissions working for satire. Death grabs the artist by the neck and throws him to the dogs, scorning his work and ingenuity. The jester is the president of the government, Perdo Sánchez, with his constant changes of opinion. Feijoo and Abascal compete to see who identifies most with the far right. The hermit is the president of the falla, always criticized and misunderstood. The Tower card represents the house of the falla, the house of noise and the target of criticism from the neighbors."

"From the 15th century onward, it gained considerable strength, and they needed saints, because the people were ignorant (to put it mildly).
The divinatory arts rose like yeast; people believed lies... then they were very religious."

"Here, the magician with his wand pulls out all the prizes, from the Central Fallera, which organizes this 'race,' which leaves few happy.
The magician is an expert at reading this sentence, which creates great confusion in the always uncertain competition of the Fallas of Valencia."

"Doing wonders like many artists do, they suffer, and making a living from that work... is a dead end. That's why we see the death that another victim takes, and another unlucky artist dies from the scam.
It keeps artists at bay, and many end up dying, but this takes the scythe... it kills twenty every year!"

"The tamer here tries to tame bad luck, which the black cat represents, just like if a one-eyed man looks at you...
Sometimes luck fails us and in fallas you cannot give up, while the artist works, it usually rains to annoy."

"They were Mediaset Kings, making loads of money, completely deceiving... people who were too indoctrinated.
They claim to be psychics and call themselves 'artists,' deceiving many believers, like media tarot readers."

"The devil by surprise is at fallas always there, and he's like the enchanting serpent, dressed as a human. We don't know why he goes deep inside; he's fond of debauchery... like pissing off the balls.
He's looking for the key to commit a thousand misdeeds against us, like stealing our peace and making everything go to hell."

"The plant is like a lottery where luck is present, often like madness... which always ends up screwing you up.
Those of us who have seen what Ciutat Fallera was and is now, it makes us cry and moves us, because the view today is crude.
President Ballester will sign up for anything; he rules here, even in the Junta... flaunting his power."

"Life is always a face and death is like a cross, which frightens and equates everyone, and where everyone pays a high price. There you will take nothing with you because nothing fits inside the coffin. Love much and in excess... and in 'heaven' you will be well received.
This scene clearly demonstrates the duality of life and death: if we believe one is ours, the other will be our haven."

"Catalá, so friendly with the lovers' card, has won over Valencia and the voters, democratically. Another corpse on the block is Barrera—the one from Vox—who we see in the disco... dancing a tacky dance.
Rita, always a party girl, has returned from the other world to enjoy the first time... with gin and tonics or bourbons. Like Cupid who excites, she wants to bring the two together, who don't know she's a ghost, or an angel... or anything like that."

"The tombs that represent the great events, which were never held in Valencia, leaving us as incompetent."

"Barrera, who was a bullfighter, acted as a counselor: his true colors were seen, and he was dismissed."

"He lives within the community as if he were a hermit, for all he needs, this Special Falla. He does it out of vocation and dedicates himself to the work, a thousand bills pile up... which he resolves with determination."

"He's sort of having a good time at the 'Ventorro' with Maribel, while a big deal was brewing, which apparently had nothing to do with him.
Mazón is responsible for the town's failure to raise the alarm, and he's a likely corpse, no matter how much he tries to exonerate himself."

"She goes around kissing frogs, since she's the Fallera Mayor, trying to find a partner who can fill her heart...
And since she's been chosen, she thinks she's an empress, relentlessly rejecting unattractive candidates."

"This is the one who has the most power and has tons of problems, and he has to fight excessively... Like a fairground clown - he couldn't sleep with Podemos - and at this point he's delirious... because of the pacts he has to agree to."

"Feijoo and Abascal are preparing to jump on him, they don't hesitate, because together they make a good group.
These two make a good league even if they say they don't, they are buffoons, the friendly voice, and the kings of the opposition"

"Netanyahu sets the world on fire there in Palestine, where war is no game, and he kills many people...
Both Putin and Trump are the owners of the Bomb; when they cause harm, they never lose their fight, because their evil is very great."
