Capital Congress celebrates diversity with cabaret and dance; Night of Museums brings together LGBTQ+ expressions

Mexico City's Congress became a stage for cultural celebration, hosting free cabaret and dance performances that highlighted sexual and gender diversity. As part of the "Night of Museums" program, the event featured two shows: 'Vestida de Cabaret' and 'Hasta que la Diversidad se haga costumbre,' offering attendees a vibrant display of artistic expression.

The Auditorium Benito Juárez welcomed around 100 guests who experienced performances by Roshell Terranova, a transgender actress with 40 years of artistic experience, and the dance company 'México de Colores.' The evening blended cabaret, dramatic art, comedy, and colorful performances, focusing on the experiences of the trans and gay communities.

Roshell Terranova captivated the audience with her charisma, accompanied by pianist Luis ‘Vicho’ Hernández. Her performance included songs adapted to convey the realities faced by the transgender community, with original music and lyrics reflecting their lives. Terranova, who also founded the Casa Club Roshell, a cultural space dedicated to sexual diversity, presented a show that resonated with themes of self-acceptance and resilience.

Following Terranova, the company 'México de Colores,' directed by Carlos Antúnez, presented a choreographic proposal exclusively featuring men. Their performance drew inspiration from Mexican folklore, cabaret, mime, physical theater, dark humor, satire, and comedy. The company's aim is to visualize the gay community across Mexico, showcasing their adaptation, expression, and enjoyment of life, while taking audiences on a colorful journey through various Mexican customs. The show included a repertoire of pieces like 'Morras bichis,' 'Malquerida,' and 'México de colores,' among others.
