The event will bring together dancers from the Cucapah Indigenous Ejido in a collective performance that seeks to preserve and promote this tradition with Indigenous and mestizo roots in the region. The Matlachines dance is a cultural expression deeply linked to religious and community celebrations in northern Mexico, characterized by colorful costumes, rattles, and group choreography that combines music and symbolism. The activity will take place in the Plaza de las Artes at CEART, one of the city's main cultural spaces, where artistic presentations and community gatherings are regularly held.
