Woven from ancestral myths, traditional music, and a three-person narrative, Andares reveals the extraordinary spirit of Mexico’s remote corners and the astonishing pathways of its humblest of inhabitants. With a live musician and inspired actors, this profound play shines a light on a range of realities - land usurpation, widespread violence, community resistance - that Indigenous people face at the crossroads of modern life and tradition. The work is performed in Spanish and Indigenous languages with English supertitles.

Makuyeika Colectivo Teatral is a theatre company dedicated to creating original works currently centered on the narratives and theatricalities of Mexico’s Indigenous people, touching themes of social, cultural, and human value with keen, artistic sensibility. Meaning “wayfarer” in the language of the Wixarika people, Makuyeika was formed after an extensive search across the country’s Indigenous communities, a project undertaken by Héctor Flores Komatsu as an inaugural recipient of the Julie Taymor World Theatre Fellowship.
