According to Manuel Preciado Diaz, head of event, the show is a production that shows the warmth and color of contemporary Mexico. “It brings together dance, music and theater with 30 dancers and 15 musicians on stage live. The work represents the talent, tradition and culture of Mexico without losing its essence. Fandango plasma with a modern touch displays a true magic show that combines light, sound, music and colors that have the taste of our land, the stylization of the pre-Hispanic costumes and interacting with charro tricks, it is an emotion that can only be described as an experience, a journey through time which blends art, tradition and novelty in a single event. ”

Shows from Wednesdays through Saturdays at 08:00 PM
