The ancestral myth of the Tlanchana, guardian of the lakes and symbol of balance with nature, comes to the stage with a unique proposal: Tlanchana, mythological ballet in CDMX, a show that combines neoclassical ballet, theater and clown under the direction of Tonatiuh Gómez.
The work will have its world premiere on Saturday October 25 and Sunday October 26 at the Teatro de la Ciudad Esperanza Iris, one of the most emblematic venues in the city.
It is a staging that seeks to captivate children and adults, with an accessible artistic language and a powerful background on our relationship with water and land.
A mythological ballet for the whole family
Tlanchana, the mythological ballet in CDMX revives the story of the mythical snake-waisted mermaid who, according to the traditions of the Toluca Valley, protected the harmony of the rivers and lagoons.
Through choreography, music and theatrical moments, the work invites us to reflect on what we have lost as a society and what we can still heal.
The scenic experience bets on the mixture of genres: the elegance of neoclassical ballet, the depth of theater and the magic of clown, achieving a fresh, dynamic and moving narrative.
Dates, times and tickets
Performances will be on two dates only:
- Saturday, October 25 at 7:00 p.m.
- Sunday, October 26 at 6:00 p.m.
Tickets are already available at the box office and online, with prices ranging from $280 pesos to $1,003 pesos, depending on the theater area you choose.
Beyond a dance production, Tlanchana, the mythological ballet in CDMX becomes a cultural experience that rescues the richness of Mexican myths and reinterprets them for new generations.
The voice of the Tlanchana, who once protected the sacred waters, will resurface to remind us that there is still time to recover harmony with nature. This world premiere promises to become one of the most memorable cultural events of the season in CDMX.
