Expat Living

A select group of guests was privileged to attend the September 20 Ajijic performance of “God’s Megaphone: A Visit with C.S. Lewis,” written and performed by acclaimed Texas theater artist Steven Fenley.

Of all the colorful characters who have shaped Ajijic’s history, few left as vivid an impression as Eleanor Saenger—better known as La Rusa. The actress, vocalist, and ballet dancer captivated audiences on stages from New York’s Metropolitan Opera House to Europe’s grand theaters before settling at Lake Chapala a century ago.
