The story
Every dish is a symbol, every word a veiled threat and every silence an omen. As you dine as a Mexica noble, priest or eagle warrior, you learn the Aztec worldview, the culture clash, the manipulation of prophecies and the war brewing between bites.
In the end, nothing will be the same: not the city, not the gods, not you.
How it works
Each guest receives an identity — eagle warrior, priest or noble — with a symbolic role. It opens with an invocation to Huitzilopochtli and Quetzalcóatl, and each course introduces a historical moment: mutual wonder, the prophecies, seduction and the omen of war.
The lighting shifts from gold to smoke, from order to chaos. In the final revelation, each guest discovers their historical fate.

- Moctezuma: tlatoani and interpreter of the gods, trapped between prophecy and power.

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 characters share real facts, dates and anecdotes from Mexican history; the fiction is there to make those facts stick.
