The Experience
You live the Day of the Dead classic inside a historic venue: walking the lit Claustro Románico and Capilla Gótica, hearing Zorrilla's verse in full, and watching an intense performance that unsettles and connects with today's audience.
About the Play
Don Juan Tenorio has never been a hero. This version does not make period theater: it keeps José Zorrilla's complete original verse but questions the character's idealized romanticism. A production traditional in form and alive in performance, it uses the architecture of the Claustro Románico and the Capilla Gótica for large-format site-specific theater in which the space is part of the experience.
This Is for You If…
- You like classic theater in historic spaces and site-specific staging.
- You want the traditional Day of the Dead Don Juan Tenorio, read from a present-day perspective.
- You are looking for a large-format experience in the south of Mexico City.
