“Each of the participants in this great ballet has roots in these regions of the world, their traits, their language, the audience is really seeing people from those places, Argentina, Bolivia, Mexico, Hawaii, and other places,” he said.

The costumes that are seen in this show are bright, colorful, and well detailed, made by the natives themselves, in addition to choreographies attached to the culture they represent, they are the ingredients that make this show special and pay homage to that cultural heritage of the peoples originating from all over the world.

In Mexico City, Living Legends had as special guests the members of the Amalia Hernández ballet, on this occasion, on their arrival in the city, the guests of honor will be members of the Association of Oaxacans in Cancun.
