The Historic Center of Querétaro has dressed up to celebrate death. This is how Mexicans have interpreted what we all have for sure, that, in a certain sense, gives reason to life itself.
The Mictlán, a Mexica representation of postmortem life, has emerged to the surface to be visited by the living, those who worship the transition that every human being will take at the end of their path through this world.
The Aztlán Group is part of this Day of the Dead celebration that has been set up in the first square of the city. Her performance intends to disseminate the Mexica worldview around death.
It is about representing the nine stadiums of Mictlán, a tour that can be done in person from the Guerrero Garden to the Plaza de Armas, where the monumental altar is located and the presentations of Grupo Aztlán are made.
During the presentation, the levels of Mictlán are explained, the narrative is accompanied by actors who express this path with their bodies. It is accompanied by music and dances.
Some of the instruments are rattles, whistles, snails, replicas of the tools with which pre-Columbian cultures performed their ceremonies.
For the members of Grupo Aztlán it has been satisfactory to discover that there is an interest on the part of visitors, mainly they have found in their audience minors, who have danced along with the actors themselves.
Grupo Aztlán aims to, through art, disseminate pre-Hispanic culture and its various forms of expression; something that has undoubtedly enriched Mexican art from different levels.
Until November 6, the presentations and activities related to the Day of the Dead will continue in the Historic Center of Querétaro.
