The Performances You’ll See

In a soaring tribute to agility and speed, seven acrobatic hummingbirds perform an amazing hoop diving act on top of two giant treadmills. The daring acrobats leap through hoops a mere 75 cm (less than 30 in) in diameter, sometimes feet first, sometimes backwards, sometimes bent in half.

With cacti silhouetted against the setting sun, two young women dance on stage in large majestic hoops as if in a dream.

Rolling among the quiotes (agave plants), the women are joined by a trapeze artist who performs a series of original figures, in a captivating performance that finishes in the rain.

In a nod to the golden age of Mexican cinema, this hand-to-hand act unfolds in a smoky dance hall reminiscent of Salon Mexico.

Three porters proficient in the art of “flinging acrobats in the air” hurl a flyer above their heads where she performs intricate flips. Sometimes the porters hold her by the hands and feet, turning her into a human skipping rope.

During Aerial Straps, an artist representing a demigod of rain emerges from the pristine waters of a cenote, recalling the natural sinkholes Mayans believed were gateways to the afterlife.

In this graceful aerial and water performance, the artist encounters a puppet resembling a life-size jaguar, an animal that has become a mythological figure of Mexican culture.
