This past Thursday I witnessed the most awesome spectacular that involved lights, projectors, fireworks, fire, traditional dancers as well as modern dancers. The show took place in the very spot where the Mexica (also known as the Aztecs) encountered the Spanish. In current times this area is called the Zócalo, in the historic center of the city. It is surrounded by colonial architecture that is built on top of what was once Tenochtitlan, the thriving metropolis of the Mexica. There I stood, in a crowd of thousands of Mexicanos, viewing an artistic presentation on the history of México. Images were projected onto the historic buildings, to accompany the music and dance that occurred on three stages. It was truly a beautiful experience. I've included a few pictures as well as brief video at the bottom of this blog entry, so that you can get a little taste of the show.
