The body, skin, and dance will set the rhythm and serve as a meeting point to weave various narratives in the same space. Both days start at 14:00, and the program for each day has its own unique personality. On Saturday, the 11th—extending until 22:00—the highest scenic density is concentrated: a performance of the body and self-esteem by Perra Vida, the vocal intensity of La Cuervo, the two-part interventions by Astra Lem, and the nighttime closing by Dúo Inverso and Timpana, who promise to bring the festival's energy to its peak. Sunday, the 12th, proposes a more intimate pace, with voices like Ada Castro, Clau Arellano, and Budaya building an afternoon that culminates in 'History that tears in a woman's body' at 20:00—the festival's closing and, likely, its most powerful statement. On both days, Fabiana Neves and the Snowapple Collective—with their piece 'I, Remember'—act as a common thread between the days. The gastronomic offer The sensory bazaar of the Jardín Rouge Festival 2026 also has flavor. The struggle for spaces of resistance—those that promote narratives capable of pointing out violence, gender inequalities, and the authorities' inaction towards crime, among other dissidences—remains an urgent necessity in the contemporary cultural scene. For this reason, the Jardín Rouge Festival, driven by Casa SnowApple, arrives this weekend to give voice to the sensitivities and provocations that evoke rebellion and the wild. Thus, on April 11th and 12th, the event will gather under the theme 'Wilderness Cabaret,' featuring performing and circus arts, music, and literature, as well as a sensory bazaar where you can explore therapeutic tarot, astrological card readings, natural cosmetics, and a special gastronomic offer for the occasion. Entry is free and only requires prior registration; the link is available on their website and social media. Rebellion and performance This year's proposal revolves around the art of cabaret and carnival—the perfect antidote for an April afternoon. Through Mukimono—the ancient Japanese technique of carving fruits and vegetables—the edible material becomes sculpture and performance. Here are the gastronomic projects that will accompany the program during both days: Bravo Sazón: A journey to the roots of Yucatecan cuisine, with all the depth and character of a tradition that needs no adornments to conquer. Sukeban Badlab: With a street soul and an experimental spirit, their proposal fuses vegetables, ferments, and seasonal ingredients in a hybrid kitchen that defies labels. Raspa Mexa: Shaved ice and chamoyadas that evoke the gustatory memories of childhood.
