THURSDAY
Every month, our friends at DEAR choose an artist, photographer or designer to present their work at El 123 restaurant in the Historic Center. This month, UK-born Liam O’Connor will be putting on a show for cinephiles, inspired by mobile camera obscuras. See the show, and then eat some yummy food.
FRIDAY
Teatro Bar El Vicio will be putting on a political satire for the ages. Cecilia Sotres plays Peña Miento and Andrés Carreño plays Donass Trump, competing to see who is the worse president. The show starts at 10:30 p.m. Tickets are 400 pesos and you can buy them here.
