Coldplay is gone, but the capital of Mexico still has many proposals to surprise visitors and locals.
With the arrival of great musical theater productions, as well as a look at the future of art, the weekend in Mexico City offers an enriching artistic and cultural proposal.
Over the next few days, the best of international cinema will once again permeate the nation’s capital with harrowing stories, to delight moviegoers with its best offerings.
While –with the departure, finally!, of Coldplay from the country– the international concert scene seems to give Mexico City only a couple of weeks of respite. Meanwhile, here are some proposals to enjoy this weekend: April 8 to 10, 2022.

From this April 7 and until July 3, 2022, immersive experiences of contemporary art can be lived, which make use of interaction, technology and large screens to awaken the five senses of the attendees.
