Despertares 2026 Sets Aug. 29 at Auditorio Nacional, Secures Yoann Bourgeois Premiere

Organizers are channeling all resources into a single high‑production program.

Overview

  • Presale runs Feb. 11–13 via Ticketmaster with general on sale Feb. 14 for the one‑night gala in Mexico City.
  • Yoann Bourgeois’ Approach 17. Opening receives its first Mexico presentation, with Olivier Mathieu performing and its complex set being built in Mexico.
  • Isaac Hernández will appear in five numbers, including fragments from Giselle, Otello and Twyla Tharp’s Sinatra Suite.
  • The lineup features first‑time Mexico appearances by Mr. Kriss and Bayley Taps, along with Maria Khoreva and Skylar Brandt, and includes the return of Roberto Bolle and dancers from major companies.
  • Workshops and conferences are paused this year as organizers prioritize the main production, a decision shaped in part by 2026 World Cup sponsorship pressures.
