Fallas Valencia 2025 - Falla El Pilar

Artist: Paco Torres.

Prize: 4th Special Section.

Cost: 180.000 Euros.

"The great myths of history are those figures who have created trends and earned admiration for their extraordinary intellectual, artistic, or athletic qualities.

Like Charles Chaplin, Limt, Rita Hayworth, Freddie Mercury, and Disney. They are cultural icons, just like the Miguelete and the Eiffel Tower.
The protagonist of this story is an artist who identifies himself as P, for Pilar. He hides his identity behind the V for Vendetta mask, but gives us clues so we can identify him."

"There are thousands of animals waiting for homes in shelters, victims of abandonment and the evil of people like Cruella."

"Here's my plantá team doing their great specialty: LUNCH You can tell they're all Falleros!
Since the neighbors are complaining about the noise from the elevator on the plantá, we're using a beam to touch up the area. It's time for lunch... and to hell with the beam!"

SOLIDARITY GUIDING THE PEOPLE "If Delacroix had lived through the DANA, his work would be very different. But one thing wouldn't change: the struggle and strength of the united people!
This damned DANA has shown that there is nothing more iconic than the unity and solidarity of the people. This is my tribute to all of you, in the most prominent place on the falla.
Have you seen Mazón? He should be there trying to avoid this scene, but no one can find him. Will you help me?"

THE TANKS IN THE SQUARE.. OF EL PILAR!
"This isn't happening either, everything is perfect! And anyone who says otherwise... will be declared an enemy! Wait, are we talking about China or the Junta Central Fallera?"

THE FIRST INFLUENCER
"Audrey Hepburn's character in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' would be on TikTok recording a video or on Instagram taking selfies today. She was the prophet of a generation."

It's Iconic... THE NIGHT OF THE DEAD
"Three icons challenge the beyond: Coco plays the guitar, while Catrina and Michael Jackson dance to the rhythm of 'Thriller'."

THE GODFATHER PUIGDEMONT
"They told me not to build the 'back', that Pilar never has one... But I'm here to break the rules!
In a luxurious villa in Waterloo, Godfather Puigdemont rests in his armchair while stroking his cat, 'Repúblic'. He has what Sánchez most desires: seven deputies!
Sánchez is fishing for the few resources received by the underfunded Valencian Community to further swell the offering destined for Godfather Puigdemont.
Where is Mazón? Will I be in Waterloo?

Welcome to the 'dark side': THE 'BACK' OF EL PILAR!
"The people have been captured! Will the rebellion arrive in time?
KIM JONG-TARKIN. The Grand Marshal of the Korean Death Star, rules with an iron fist and a motionless hairstyle.
DARTH PUTIN, the Dark Lord of the Kremlin. He walks in the shadows of the Russian Empire, always ready to invade a neighboring planet."

"FETT MUSK. He works for Trump because it gives him something more fun than money: media chaos.
EMPEROR RI JIMPING. He's the only one in charge, and anyone who dares to question him mysteriously disappears.
DONALD THE HUTT. The empire's most powerful and narcissistic creature, with a mouth always ready to brag."

FORREST FEIJÓO GUMP
"Sit on the bench and accompany Feijoo! Sweeten his wait while the others share power.
My mom always said that politics is like a box of chocolates... you never know who you'll have to make a deal with.
Where's Mazón? Am I under the bench?"

"Congratulations, you've found Mazón... in the falla. But we've all lost the game, because we couldn't find him when it was a matter of life or death."
