Today marked the first showing of our Patas Rayadas enamorados puppet show and it was wildly successful! In other words, the kids (and adults) learned about disease prevention, including sterile mosquitos, and nobody found it too boring. We’re ready to take this show on the road! We’ll be visiting Ejido Hidalgo and Ejido Rio Florido, the two communities in which the pilot sterile mosquito release is taking place, to share this masterpiece with them next week.
How do you celebrate successful puppet theatre? With delicious street food, of course! We happened upon a local market on the side of the road, complete with vendors offering fresh fruits, agua fresca, quesadillas, and two amazing marimba players. Another successful day in Chiapas!
Our talented crew and wonderful audience.
