This show is an incredible example of utilizing strong performances, production design, and imagination to create a mesmerizing and haunting experience that conveys so well despite being spoken entirely in Spanish.... full review
ADRIÁN BARRÓN certified reviewer July 02, 2024
It is truly a gift to see the ancestral stories of one's childhood come to life in such a beautiful and dynamic way. A trip to the Underworld and finding your purpose there being the framing device to share the message of one's purpose coming from within and always being a part of oneself is coveyed so clearly, and touches the hearts of the audience. From the costumes, to the bilingual presentation of the show (trilingual when taking into account the native Nahuatl spoken), to the masterful use of staging in such an intimate space, this show truly embodies the nature and artistic goal of the Hollywood Fringe Festival.... full review

LINCOLN MACY certified reviewer June 22, 2024
This show was so so interesting and cool; the chemistry the actors had with eachother was electric and the atmosphere of the performance kept me hooked the whole way through. I really felt like I was transported to Mictlan, and felt Neli's anxiety and trepedacious excitement hearing about earth and all its uncertainties. Mictlantecuhtli and the Mictecah (whose body acting was phenomenal) felt proper spooky, and Quetzalcoatl felt as impassioned as a god of learning and art should! And Tezcatlipoca felt like a real ally throughout, though of course providing no certainty. Amazing amazing performances, so glad I got to see this show!... full review
