Montreal-based dance company Rubberband opened Guadalajara’s Festival de Mayo with “Reckless Underdog,” a performance that blends abstract narrative with movement bridging urban and classical styles.
Artists from Mexico and this year’s guest country, Canada, continue to perform at the festival’s main venue, Teatro Degollado, through the end of the month. Meanwhile, dozens of free events are taking place across the city.
For the full program, visit festivaldemayo.org. Outside the Degollado, in the Plaza Liberaion, visitors can marvel at a striking illuminated whale installation and geodesic domes inviting reflection on marine biodiversity and ocean pollution.
