Tim Burton’s delirium invades CDMX with his immersive labyrinth
Because nothing says “sophisticated culture” like putting 50,000 people in a labyrinth of Gothic oddities, the ‘Tim Burton, The Labyrinth’ experience lands at the Casino del Bosque from June 26 to October 5. Yes, the same place where your grandfather probably lost his pension playing poker will now house corpses of boyfriends and men with scissors for hands. Progress? Definitely.
18 containers of Italian madness
Not content with exporting pizza and pasta, the Italians decided to send us 18 containers full of twisted fantasies. The exhibition, which has already taken Milan by storm, promises a journey through Mr. Burton’s most iconic films: from the melancholic Edward Scissorhands to the chaotic Beetlejuice, passing through the childhood trauma that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory left us (thanks for the nightmares, Willy Wonka).
According to Elena Garrán, Director of Communication at Letsgo (the production company behind this circus), this is not just “another exhibition with bright screens”. No no. Here there are sculptures, costumes and animation so that visitors can live “a unique adventure”. I mean, if you get bored, it’s your fault for not having enough gothic imagination.
And although one would think that after selling 50 thousand tickets before opening, they would be able to relax, no. Apparently, the success took them by surprise. “Each visitor will have a different experience,” they say. Of course, because nothing unites humanity more than getting lost in a labyrinth of cinematic obsessions while stumbling upon Johnny Depp’s hat.
Is it worth the trip?
If you are one of those who believe that Burton is a genius or you simply like to dress up as a macabre character on the weekends, this is your opportunity. Of course, prepare yourself for kilometer-long lines, selfies with strange Beetlejuice dresses and the inevitable existential reflection: “Why do I identify so much with a skeleton who wants to get married?”.
