A brief show with live music and five actors on stage who, following the tradition of Mexican revue, presents to us the history of Cortés family, owners of a theatre in Mexico City, in Porfirio Díaz’s time. A trip across the music: zarzuelas, cuplés, and waltzes; French, Spanish, and Cuban influences; and arriving up to the popular, skid-row revue theatre, not forgetting the comedy vignettes, news of the time, and the repression of the people: rounds on stage, and beatings out of it.
