El Gallo Giro presents

LA VIRGEN DE
GUADALUPE,
DIOS INANTZIN

by Evelina Fernández
Directed by José Luis Valenzuela

Produced by The Latino Theater Company
in association with the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels

We return to Downtown L.A.’s Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels with La Virgen de Guadalupe, Dios Inantzin, the company’s signature holiday pageant that has taken place annually since 2002. Featuring over 100 actors, singers and indigenous Aztec dancers as well as children and seniors from the community, La Virgen is the City of L.A.’s largest theatrical holiday production. Join the tens of thousands who have become transfixed by the story of Juan Diego, a simple peasant to whom the Virgin Mary appeared on four occasions in the mountains of Tepeyac near Mexico City in 1531. Adapted for the stage by Evelina Fernández from the mid-16th century text The Nican Mopohua.

Un regalo de amor, esperanza y fe a la Ciudad de Los Angeles. La Virgen de Guadalupe, Dios Inantzin dramatiza la aparición de la Virgen María a Juan Diego, un campesino indígena, y se ha convertido en una tradición que por más de una década se ha presentado en la Catedral de Nuestra Señora de Los Ángeles. Esta hermosa obra con música, danza, y un mensaje universal de fe, amor y perserverancia atrae a muchas personas, sin distinción de raza, idioma o religión.
