This play includes traditional Mexican Christmas songs spreading the spirit of the Christmas season with beautiful costumes and choreography. “It is very important to continue exposing, thru dance, the most important traditions of the people in México, especially during this season with a strong lack of sensibility and historic conciseness, this event is a step forward to remember the Mexican popular culture”, said Alex Palencia director of México 2000 Ballet Folklorico.
