The story
La Lagunilla is Mexico City's most famous antiques market, and cine de ficheras was a popular film genre of the 1970s and '80s set in cabarets.
Before the star lot, other items — dishes and cocktails — go under the hammer, each with its own story.

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. Behind the humor there's culture: the dialogue explains the Mexican customs, traditions and characters that inspire the satire.
Format and customization
“The Lagunilla Collector” is one of our Mexican food tastings productions. We can adapt it to your venue, group size, menu and language, as a private event or on dates open to the public.
