Meaning of tancredismo by furoya

It is a Spanish word for a lance or show inside the bullfights where an interpreter made a "Don Tancredo", which was a kind of "living statue" on a pedestal, dressed in somewhat ridiculous and originally white clothes, standing motionless in front of the onslaught of a bull so that he believes it to be a true statue and thus avoid it instead of cornealing it. By extension it is said of the unperturbable attitude to a danger. The origin of this expression has much of a myth; it is attributed to a Spanish flag named Tancredo López who in Mexico saw an indigenous man stand motionless before a wild bull to prevent his attack, and when he returned to his homeland in the late nineteenth century perfected the technique to present himself as a bullfighting artist in the sand pretending to be a statue, and that the animal should ignore him. His career ended when he was released by one previously taught to ram a white monigoth.
