In Vuelo Nocturno, bats will be the stars of an experience full of acrobatics, games, and surprises. Through theatrical activities and an environmental scavenger hunt, the audience will discover why these nocturnal creatures are essential to ecosystems.
La Bomba Teatro’s production aims to change the perception many people have of bats and highlight their importance to nature in an entertaining and accessible way. Additionally, the show is specially designed to be performed in parks, forests, and green spaces, so the natural setting of Chapultepec will be an essential part of the experience.
