Dancers were very good but at the start and end of show an elderly man talked in Spanish at length, particularly at the end. There was no translated handout available. I think he was telling his life stories because he was very emotional . He spoilt the atmosphere created by the last dance, a wonderful Maypole dance. Venue hard to find. Taxi drivers didn’t know.

We hunted for a "ballet folklorique" and found the Jacchigua website. Ignore it - it doesn't work well. Instead, pick Wednesday or Friday and go early to the Centro de Convenciones Eugenio Espejo, The show starts at 7:15, so 6:45 will get you good seats. Walk the slippery walkway to the open doorway, go in and pay your $40 and snag a front row seat. The theatre is (too) small and the seating is flat so it's hard to see from the back. THE SHOW IS SPECTACULAR - the sounds, the colours, the choreography, the energy of the dancers... it is not to be missed! The founder of the dance troupe talked a very long time in Spanish and while we are sure whatever was said was worthwhile, we didn't get a single word as we don't speak Spanish.WE get it- it is important to maintain the indigenous heritage - but the talk was too long. English translation would be welcome as most of the audience spoke English. The performance itself was varied, moved well, the dancers were well-trained, the accompanying live music was super. My only problem with it was the stage - the performance was too big for it: there are some HUGE costumes and they kept touching the ceiling. Withe the large number of dancers on the stage, they had to work the edges, and came a little too close for comfort. This is such a fabulous dance company, that they deserve a better theatre and way more publicity.... and probably a website upgrade for better marketing. The $40 is a cheap price for this world class performance.
