2 Best Performing Arts Venues in Condesa, Mexico City

On a quiet street in the northwestern corner of the neighborhood, this highly regarded performing arts nonprofit presents dozens of plays and other kinds of shows—film, music, dance—throughout the year. Although the name may have you expecting classic Elizabethan fare, Foro Shakespeare is devoted to diversity and social impact, and often presents edgy and provocative material. The organization collaborates with a number of noteworthy partners, including La Compañía de Teatro Penitenciario, which aims to help inmates reintegrate through art and culture. The theater also has an inviting all-day restaurant, La Bambalina, and a great little bookstore, Libreria Paso de Gato.

Check the website of this small theater space with a cute Mexican restaurant (La Callejera Condesa) to see what's on. The options include a wide range of performances like modern dance, experimental theater, spoken word, and other generally incisive and often funny material.
