The story
On arrival, each guest draws a numbered stone that sets their seat. Tezcatlipoca appears amid smoke; Xochiquetzal walks in behind him, correcting him.
Between courses come stories of Tláloc and the other gods, oracle readings and challenges for the mortals. At the end, Tezcatlipoca delivers an epic, funny finale.
How it works
The “Stones of Destiny” assign seats; in “Sacred Mockery,” Tezcatlipoca dares the audience to make fun of him; the tamales hide a number and Xochiquetzal reads the “tamale oracle” at each table.
Dessert brings “The Offering to the Gods”: tables compete to create a mini offering with flowers and seeds. The winners receive an amulet.

History and culture in every scene
As in all our experiences, the hosts' dialogue and the event's activities are written with real information about Mexican history and culture. You have fun and, without even noticing, you learn. The hosts explain the origin and meaning of the legend or tradition, and where the symbols, rituals and customs that appear during the night come from.
Format and customization
“The Forbidden Dinners of the Mesoamerican Gods” is one of our immersive theater productions. We can adapt it to your venue, group size, menu and language, as a private event or on dates open to the public.
