Free outdoor Mexican-French circus this weekend in Guanajuato“Vértigo” — a Mexico-France collaboration adapted from the French production “Vertige” — is scheduled for 9 p.m. Saturday in Plaza Allende, the small square beside the Cervantes Theater in the historic city of Guanajuato.
The 60-minute show will combine aerial circus, dance, live music and a site-specific visual design. The spectacle will bring together artists from Chaillot, a Paris-based national theater, and Mexican performers. Some of the acrobats and aerial balance artists are affiliated with Mexico City’s Cirko de Mente.
Featuring more than 200 performances by some 2,750 artists, the event will include headliners such as Mike Patton’s Italian-song project Mondo Cane, which will open the festival at 7 p.m. Saturday.
