PRIMER FONDO DÍA DE MUERTOS

Narration Only (I): This is how our story begins. The day that the inhabitants of Mexico call the
Day of the Dead.

Narration only (me): On this magical and festive day, families arrive with offerings for the altars of
their loved ones. And on that particular Day of the Dead, Xibalbá and Catrina awaken after many
centuries.

-xhibalba: I don't want to continue ruling the kingdom of the forgotten, I really hate that place.
Darling, please, exchange kingdoms with me.

-catrina: hey!, you are there because of your deception, you asked for it with that bet.

Xibalbá (Mariangel): Anyway. Eehh it occurred to me. What do you think of another innocent
bet?

Catrina (me): do you think that another bet will extinguish the flames of my anger muy enojada,
mira a Xibalba aunque no es posible en titeres what exactly do you have in mind??

-xhibalba: look there, the classic human dilemma: two children, best friends.

-catrina: aww, fighting for the love of a girl.

-xhibalba: let's bet on who marries her.

-catrina: ok. I accept.

Con los niños

-Joaquín: don't worry, María. Your hero is here to save you.

-manolo: don't interrupt a guitarist.

-Joaquín: the girl is mine.

-manolo: no! She is mine.

-Maria: No! I don't belong to anyone!

-manolo and Joaquín: wow

-manolo: María, weren't you punished?

-Maria: My father is exaggerating. How would I know that chickens didn't like bathing?

Xibalbá (Mariangel): I think we have our bet, which boy will marry her.

Catrina (me): okay, everyone will choose a boy as their champion.

Narrador: Catrina chooses Manolo as her winner and Xibalba chooses Joaquin as his winner.
Returning to the children, Maria and Manolo had to leave, and Xibalba, seeing that Joaquin was
alone, took the opportunity to cheat.

-Xibalba en forma de viejo: could you give me some of your bread?

-joaquin: no, it's for my father.

-Xibalba en forma de viejo: what if we make an exchange? With this medal, no one can hurt you or
defeat you. But there is a cruel bandit who will not rest until he obtains it.

-Joaquin: ok. I accept. Wait, are you talking about jackal? …Where did he go?

Narrator: The days go by and Maria goes to Spain to train and become a young lady, but before
leaving she gives Manolo a new guitar, since his was broken because of her. Years later, the day
Maria returns to San Angel and Joaquin returns from his adventures as a town hero, just the day
Manolo's first shooting takes place.

Narrator: That same night Maria's father organizes a dinner for her return.

-Maria: How good it is to see each other again, Joaquín. look at that mustache and all those
medals.

-joaquin: it seems that you have learned a lot, Maria. one day you will make a man very very
happy.

-Maria: Really?

-joaquin: behind a man with a spectacular mustache is a beautiful woman.

-Maria: Yes... and I'm going to cook for him and wash his clothes and fulfill his whims...

-Maria: Are you kidding me!? Is this how you see women? Are we just here to make men happy?

-Joaquín: well… I don't know

-Maria: I think I lost my appetite. Please, don't get up. if you'll excuse me I have to go check on

Narrator: María goes down to return Manolo's guitar and sees Joaquín kneeling.

-Joaquín: María, do you want to marry me?

-Maria: What?

Joaquín: You don't have to worry. I already talked to your father and he said yes.

-Maria: He did what!?

Manolo aparece, observa lo que esta pasando y empieza una pelea con Joaquin por María.

-Joaquín: did you also propose to her?

-Maria: No, were you going to do it?

-joaquin: I said it first so go away.

-Maria: You two are behaving like fools.

-manolo: me too?!?!?

-joaquin: later we will fix it.

-manolo: with pleasure.

-Maria: Oh, is that really??

Narrador: At that moment, Maria stops them, gets angry with both of them and returns to her
room. Once in her room, Manolo calls her from the balcony and asks Maria to meet him at dawn
at the entrance of the village. Already, in that place, Manolo kneeling tells her.

with the heart.
Narrador: Xibalba, seeing that he was at risk of losing the bet, sends them a two-headed snake,
which when you receive a bite you faint and when you receive two bites you die.

remembered where he meets his family to help him look for Maria. Together they go to where
Catrina is, but when they arrive they meet Xhibalba who explains to them that Catrina was in the
world of the forgotten because she lost the bet because Maria was going to marry Joaquin to save
the town and Manolo had died. It is then that Manolo realizes that Xhibalba had cheated so he
decides to go and look for Catrina. He overcomes the challenges and with the help of the wax man
