La exposición reúne más de 50 retablos originales realizados en el transcurso de 50 años y tres generaciones de tradición familiar.
La colección de retablos son un testimonio del acervo visual de arte popular mexicano, particularmente del pueblo artesanal de Xalitla, en el estado de Guerrero, donde vive y trabaja la Familia Lorenzo.
Asimismo, el recorrido de piezas artísticas evidencia el dialogo intergeneracional en el cual podemos apreciar a múltiples personajes de la cultura popular mexicana como luchadores, guerrilleros zapatistas, calaveras del día de los muertos, imágenes del juego de la lotería o Frida Kahlo junto a ingenuas imágenes de santos, demonios, ángeles, figuras religiosas y danzas tradicionales enmascaradas náhuatl.
La exposición procura destacar el patrimonio cultural de estos artistas populares contemporáneos poco visibilizados pero que demandan de mayor comprensión y reconocimiento en tiempos debates culturales identitarios.

The exhibition brings together more than 50 original altarpieces created by three generations of family tradi
tion over the past 50 years.
The altarpiece collection is a testament to the visual heritage of Mexican Folk Art, particularly the artisanal town of Xalitla, in the state of Guerrero, where the Lorenzo Family lives and works.
Also, the tour of artistic pieces demonstrates the intergenerational dialogue in which we appreciate multiple characters of Mexican popular culture such as wrestlers, Zapatista guerrillas, skulls of the Day of the Dead, images of the Loteria or Frida Kahlo along with naive images of saints, demons, angels, religious figures and traditional Nahuatl masked dances.
The exhibition seeks to highlight the cultural heritage of these contemporary folk artists who are not widely recognized but who demand greater unders- tanding and acceptance in times of cultural identity debates.

El Milagro del Recuerdo
A world premiere and prequel to the mariachi opera Cruzar la Cara de la Luna, El Milagro del Recuerdo/The Miracle of Remembering brings audiences back to where it all began, Michoacán, Mexico. Set during Christmas, the opera lovingly explores the themes of traditions and familial bonds while it’s characters deal with life-changing decisions and dream of something more.
By joining librettist and director Leonard Foglia, Mexican composer Javier Martínez continues the legacy of mariachi opera established by his late father, José “Pepe” Martínez.
Sung in Spanish with projected English translation.

More about Alegría:
Alegría (‘joy’ in Spanish) takes audiences at the heart of a once glorious kingdom now in decay led by the king’s fool and a dusty aristocracy. Carried by an intangible wind of change, an emerging movement from the streets strives to shake this established order, instilling hope and renewal to bring light and harmony to their world. With its joyful spirit, Alegría is a vital, energizing force driven by a thirst for a brighter tomorrow.
In true Cirque du Soleil fashion, Alegría unfolds soul-touching clown antics and remarkable acrobatic performances in a whimsical and immersive visual universe. Perched at the top of the Big Top, gymnasts fly from one High Bar to the next, and leap into the void to reach the hands of mighty catchers suspended on a cradle swing. Using all her limbs, an artist dazzles with her ability to spin and twirl a multitude of hoops while contorting her body with otherworldly ease. Other Jaw-dropping highlights include a daredevil Fire Knife Dancer eating, breathing, touching and juggling with flames; a sublime couple on Aerial Straps soaring through a delicate snowstorm; and fourteen tumblers bouncing off a Powertrack (trampoline tracks) embedded into the stage to perform crisscrossing series of daring somersaults.
