CONTRA RITMO

Contra Ritmo is an original musical that portrays the encounter of two contrasting worlds through love, dance, and music. Emilio, a passionate mariachi musician, and Alarii, a gifted ballet dancer with folkloric roots, must confront their fears and prejudices while searching for harmony. Guided and challenged by two female spirits —Ixchel, moon goddess and protector of classical dance, and Adela, a traditional Oaxacan spirit tied to the Guelaguetza—, they struggle between tradition and modernity, masculinity and femininity. Featuring original choreography and live music, the play takes the audience on an emotional journey that celebrates cultural diversity and questions the true boundaries of love. The ending, both open and poetic, leaves a lingering question: Can love truly flourish when two hearts beat… OFF BEAT?
