The story
A ballet dancer embodies Iztaccíhuatl in a melancholy dance: every movement is an emotion, every turn an unanswered question, every silence an absence.
Guests are guardians of memory, called to interpret the dance, decode symbols and rebuild the greatest love story of mythical Mexico. The mystery isn't solved with logic, but with emotion.
How it works
Throughout the banquet, three acts of ballet reveal clues in the language of the body: “The Waiting” (absence), “The Broken Promise” (intensity) and “The Transformation” (final calm).
With the help of the host-narrator, guests watch, discuss and guide Iztaccíhuatl toward the truth. In the end, love exists again… though not always as we expect.

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.
