THE STRATEGY OF WAR: AZTEC MYTHOLOGY

The Strategy of War: Magic and Splendor of Aztec Mythology is a powerful storytelling performance that breathes new life into the ancient creational myths of the Aztec empire. Accompanied by live percussion, Storyteller Mera Reyes draws on deep research, collaborating with indigenous artists, oral tradition leaders, and educators to restore these stories to their original oral form. Once nearly erased after the Spanish conquest of 1519–1521, these myths endure as the spiritual heartbeat of Aztec culture, though they remain inaccessible to many today. This performance seeks to reclaim that heritage, inviting audiences into a world of poetic language, cosmic vision, and profound cultural memory, an experience that celebrates the enduring power of the Aztec story to be told by its own people once again.
