The event was not only a visual gift but also a powerful declaration of the historical and cultural relevance of Mexico’s independence process. Mauricio Villa, with this, wanted to remind the Mexican people and the entire world of the struggle and sacrifice of the heroes who faced oppression to achieve the freedom and sovereignty that the country enjoys today.

A Connection between the Pre-Hispanic Past and Modern History

It is especially significant that the choice of site for this event was Chichén Itzá, one of the most important cities of the Mayan civilization, thus linking the rich pre-Hispanic history with the fight for independence and national identity of Mexico.

This has not only generated an international impact, but has also served to strengthen the feeling of patriotism and belonging at a time when unity and recognition of cultural diversity are more necessary than ever.
