The classic character who refuses to grow up comes to Mexico City in a large-scale show. Peter Pan ballet at the National Auditorium is now a reality and will be presented in a single performance on May 17, with an international production that combines dance, technology, and powerful visuals.
This production is presented by Arte Mi Amor Entertainment and the Tonatiuh Gómez Foundation, produced by leading Mexican dancer Tonatiuh Gómez and with artistic direction by Septime Webre, one of the most influential choreographers in contemporary ballet and current artistic director of the Hong Kong Ballet.
This performance of Peter Pan ballet at the Auditorio Nacional stands out for bringing together more than 85 artists on stage, as well as a complex integration of stage flight, multimedia, video mapping, set design, and high-level costumes.
Within the national scene, it is one of the most ambitious ballet productions ever presented in Mexico. The work features the collaboration of the Jalisco Ballet, as well as international guest dancers from the San Diego Ballet, consolidating a high-level artistic proposal.
Yucatán and Peter Pan ballet at the National Auditorium
This adaptation of the Peter Pan ballet was developed especially for Mexico. The story is set in a visual universe inspired by the Yucatán Peninsula, with references to the Mayan civilization, the pirate era of the 18th and 19th centuries, and the cultural boom of cities such as Mérida in the early 20th century, without altering J.M. Barrie’s original narrative.
Choreographically, the production mixes classical ballet with elements of slapstick, hip hop, tango, and a strong theatrical element. The result is a show that addresses themes such as imagination, growth, belonging, diversity, and inclusion.
In addition, the project involves the participation of nearly 200 children and young people from public and private dance schools in Jalisco, Tijuana, and Mexico City, who will share the stage with professional artists as part of their educational and social training.
This unique performance of Peter Pan ballet at the Auditorio Nacional will take place on May 17, and tickets are now available online, with prices ranging from $385 to $3,472 pesos.
