Mexico City, with its inexhaustible energy, is that place where sensations multiply: the vibrant light of its streets, the aroma of a freshly made taco in a street stall. This metropolis is not only a melting pot of cultures, it is the refuge of stories, art and rhythms that come alive in every corner. Whether in the serenity of a café in Roma or the hustle and bustle of La Lagunilla, CDMX offers a unique experience that cannot be compared to any other place in the world.
So if you are lucky enough to be here this weekend, don't miss out on what the city has in store: exhibitions, concerts, workshops, and much more, inviting you to discover new ways of living and feeling our capital.

RAPTURE (PERFORMING ART)
November 16
9:00 to 10:00 pm
$650
Gita Studio
Rapture is a transformative artistic concept that explores the tension between our pure essence and the social constructs that limit us. Four artists, each representing a different discipline-music, painting, dance and live visual projections-come together to offer a multidisciplinary experience that questions the norms that guide and restrict our lives.
In this performance, each artist expresses his or her interpretation of this transformation and the struggle for authenticity. The music evokes primal emotions, the dance movements symbolize liberation from restrictions, the paintings explore the layers that cover us, and the visual projections transport us from enclosure to openness and rebirth.
Rapture is an invitation for the audience to reflect on their own fears, questions and desires. It is a journey back to the genuine, to the essence that resides within each of us-an artistic experience that reveals the possibility of living without masks and with full authenticity.
