Tivoli: Uncut and Uncensored

Acclaimed Mexican director Alberto Isaac helms the comedic, bawdy, and nostalgic TIVOLI. Set in the 1940s and 50s in Mexico City, the film chronicles the people and culture surrounding the infamous Tivoli Theater. At the Tivoli, citizens of the city could see performances ranging from comedians to burlesque dancers. However, the moralizing politicians in the city see the theater as a threat, and begin efforts to close its doors and tear it down, despite the resistance of performers and customers alike. Starring actor-director Alfonso Arau, TIVOLI examines a lost era of nightlife in Mexico City.
