COSTUME DESIGN
What we wear tells stories, too.
We do not approach costume design as a faithful reproduction of traditional Mexican dress, but as a contemporary interpretation of the symbols embedded in our collective memory.
Paliacates, sarapes, sombreros colimotes, and rebozos, alongside work boots, religious textiles, and everyday objects, appear time and again throughout our productions—yet they never remain unchanged. Each element is reimagined through new combinations of materials, colors, and contemporary visual references.
Our aim is not to dress up as the past.
It is to enter into conversation with it.
In this way, each production develops an aesthetic universe of its own.
In some productions, fluorescent colors and digital references take center stage; others draw on imagery inspired by community festivities, religious celebrations, urban culture, or regional traditions.
None is intended to serve as the definitive image of México Reimaginado.
Each offers a different way of approaching the same question.
One of the clearest examples is Guadalupapi, created specifically for the dancers.
Inspired by the iconography of the Virgin of Guadalupe, it brings together everyday garments, paliacates, rosaries, work boots, and rebozos to create an image that honors its roots while inviting new interpretations.
In works such as La Llorona, the rebozo becomes more than a garment.
It becomes movement.
A character.
A story.
