The fourth edition of TONO Festival brings performance, video, and music commissions to museums across Mexico City and Puebla. Opening night features Turner Prize winner Tino Sehgal's 'This Joy' -- three dancers surrendering to Beethoven -- at the Museo Casa Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo. Programming across Casa del Lago UNAM, Museo Jumex, Museo del Chopo, and Museo de Arte Moderno.
Why We Love This
Contemporary performance art in Mexican modernist architecture. Tino Sehgal performing Beethoven through dance at the Diego Rivera studio is the kind of cross-pollination that only happens at the edges. TONO is becoming the CDMX answer to European performance festivals -- still intimate, still discoverable.
