Performing At
The Art Hikes welcome a stunning traditional performance by the drumming and dance group Matlachines Guerreros de Reno. Matlachines, which is a traditional dance from Aguascalientes. The dance originates from a combination of pre-hispanic and colonial music and dance. The matachines are a group of dancers, with a well-defined structure and functions, whose objective is to make a pilgrimage while dancing. Symbolic elements of the dance include the headdress, known as the chimal. It points heavenward and must never touch the ground, symbolizing the dancers' connection to the divine.
