Mexico City, May 22 – Nacho Cano’s acclaimed production, “Malinche, The Musical,” is set to bid farewell to Mexico City, with its final performances scheduled until May 29. The musical, which has enjoyed a highly successful run at Frontón México, located opposite the Monument to the Revolution, has captivated audiences with its unique narrative and spectacular staging.
A Resounding Success in the Mexican Capital
Following its triumph in Madrid, “Malinche, The Musical” replicated its success in Mexico City, achieving over 300 performances and attracting more than 200,000 spectators. This makes it one of the most significant theatrical phenomena in the country’s recent history. The show has been presented from Wednesday to Sunday at Frontón México, a venue that has become a home for the musical and a meeting point for audiences of all ages.
The Vision of Nacho Cano
Conceived by Spanish composer Nacho Cano, renowned for “Hoy no me puedo levantar,” the musical offers a grand visual and auditory narrative. The production spans nearly three hours, divided into two acts, and features original music, elaborate choreographies, and impressive scenography that includes aquatic elements and projections. The aim is to portray Malinche as a pivotal figure, a master of language, and a bridge between two worlds.
The Story: A Clash and Dialogue of Cultures
The musical delves into the complex relationship between Malintzin, Hernán Cortés, and Moctezuma. It vividly portrays the clash and subsequent dialogue between cultures that led to the mestizaje and the formation of a new identity in Mexico. This historical perspective, combined with artistic brilliance, has resonated deeply with the Mexican audience.
Final Opportunities to Experience the Show
Throughout May, the production intensified its efforts to reach new audiences with special promotions and functions, emphasizing that these are the last dates of the season. Regular performances continue from Wednesday to Friday at 8:00 PM, and on Saturdays and Sundays at 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM. This schedule has allowed for a high rotation of attendees throughout the week.
The season will culminate on May 29 at 8:00 PM with the closing performance at Frontón México. This night, advertised as “Season Finale: last performances from May 1 to May 29,” will mark the musical’s temporary departure from the capital’s billboard. The production encourages the public not to miss this final opportunity to experience the show before the curtain falls.
