Over 90 minutes, the show gave a poetic account of the most important moments in the history of Mexico, through music and dance, voices and illuminations, gigantic projections and highly esthetic images, accompanied by special effects that did not fail to surprise the spectators.
More than 12,000 m2 of moving images, 270° projections on Mexico City's main square, the Zocalo, three "Time Machines" -towers that discreetly housed the lighting, projection, mist, flames and pyrotechnic effects equipments; a central stage, along with three stages at the feet of the "Time Machines", where more than 300 artists performed, and 100 m of catwalk joining the four stages, meant the throngs of spectators could be as close as possible to the performers.
More than 1,400 costumes and 600 props evoked the different periods in Mexico's history; 55 video projectors (20,000 lumens) projected images onto the facades around the square; 12 high-resolution (18,000 lumens) video projectors for 12 tulle screens measuring 9 X 4.5 meters; more than 50 flame generators, as well as a circular pyrotechnic display brought the show to its climax and gave rise to lasting emotions. Faultless sound quality was achieved through the use of 16 Line Array systems, which enabled the original soundtrack to be transmitted from any point on the square according to show requirements.
