Mexican folklore theatrical performances

Overview

Theatrical productions centered on Mexican legends and Day of the Dead traditions are being staged in various locations. In Mexico City, a production exploring the pre-Hispanic roots of the La Llorona legend is scheduled to run from October 16 to November 8, utilizing puppets and shadow theater across ten different venues.

Simultaneously, international and regional performances are expanding the reach of these traditions. In Teruel, the ‘Noche de Ánimas’ spectacle will feature legends such as La Llorona and the Charro Negro across historic plazas. In Querétaro, the play ‘El diario de La Llorona’ is being presented to use the character’s backstory as a means to raise awareness regarding domestic abuse and gender-based violence.
