On 20 November 2010, Mexico commemorates the Centenary of the Start of the Mexican Revolution. One of the reasons for celebrating is that we now have a freer, more inclusive, stronger Mexico that is prepared for the future.
With the Centenary of the Revolution in Mexico, we reflect on who we are through various activities such as the Madero 100 Years Cycle, the Me, Mexico in the Capital show, the Giant, Open-Air Puppet Show in Guadalajara and the re-inauguration of the Main Hall in the Palace of Fine Arts.
The Me Mexico show in Mexico City’s main square involves a multi-media sound and light show that will project images from the Mexican Revolution onto the Metropolitan Cathedral, the National Palace and the Federal District Government buildings, every day at 9 p.m. until 21 November.
From 23 to 28 November, a Giant Open Air Puppet Show will be held with over 200 participants who accompany three puppets, including one representing a girl searching for values and principals linked to revolutionary persons and events.
Within the sphere of literature, we will celebrate with the collection entitled Critical History of Modernizations in Mexico, the presentation of the collection called Mexico's Main Problems and a book called Childhood in Memory, published with the support of public cultural institutions and sponsored by public Higher Education Institutions.
Other events include the inauguration of the exhibition Testimonies of a War, the premiere in Mexico of the feature film Revolution, the broadcasting of radio programs entitled Visions and Revisions of the Revolution, the photographic exhibition entitled Faces of Mexico, the culmination of the 200 Years of Being Proudly Mexican tour (megascreen), the musical collection The Revolution Years; the television programs called Indigenous Peoples Today, the Channel 22 series on Revolutionary Women and the literary program on the Mexican Revolution.
