Teatro Paraguas presents

¡Viva México!: The Music, Dance, and Poetry of México

Actors, singers, musicians and dancers from Teatro Paraguas, Ballet Folclórico Xóchitl, and Los Niños de Santa Fe come together in a lively performance of songs and dances from the pre-Colombian, Spanish colonial, and Mexican Independence eras up through modern times. Interspersed between music and dance numbers, actors celebrate the Mexican poetic tradition through the poetry of contemporary Mexican poets.

Music and dance in the show includes the Aztec Tonantzin, 19th century varsovianas, waltzes, serenades, La Cucaracha, and the popular Huapango de Moncayo. Poetry in the show includes the works of Alberto Blanco, Efraín Bartolomé, Fabio Morábito, Silvia Tomasa Rivera and Verónica Volkow, among many others.
