\u201cBut I don\u2019t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.<\/em>
\n“Oh, you can\u2019t help that,” said the Cat: “We\u2019re all mad here. I\u2019m mad. You\u2019re mad.”<\/em>
\n“How do you know I\u2019m mad?” said Alice.<\/em>
\n“You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn\u2019t have come here.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Rauxa Restaurant Show<\/strong> has come to the Riviera Maya<\/strong>, and she is anything but apologetic. On the contrary, she’s here to free you from your inhibitions and share with you a taste of madness.<\/p>\n

The Meaning of Rauxa<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are certain moments, places or experience that compel us to examine our thoughts and beliefs; to question our inner desires as to whether we control them or whether\u00a0they, in fact, control us.<\/p>\n

In the Spanish province of Catalonia, two opposing terms were conceived in Catalan whose existence stood at polar opposites. Much like good and evil or ying and yang, together they provided a necessary balance. Standing alone, they could diverge into extremes.<\/p>\n

These terms are seny<\/em> <\/a><\/strong>and<\/a> rauxa<\/em><\/a><\/strong>. Seny<\/em> is understood to be that which is rational, measured, cautious and sensible. Rauxa<\/em>, on the other hand, is the expression of the uninhibited, spontaneous, impulsive. In short, madness.<\/p>\n

\"Rauxa<\/p>\n

In the old days, the cartoons of lore would portray that internal battle as a struggle of whose voice on our shoulder we would listen to, that of the angelic figure dressed in white, or the seductive red-dressed Lucifer, trying to deviate us from the path of righteousness.<\/p>\n

Much of our modern-day understanding of that which is accepted and permissible is derived from religion and how those who profess to be its defenders interpret it. As a result, much of what we often times accept as right and wrong have been pre-determined by society.<\/p>\n

\"Dancers<\/p>\n

Of course, with the definition of that which is righteous and correct comes its counterpart: sin and vice.<\/p>\n

Rauxa Tulum<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Late at night and you’re sleeping<\/em>
\nYou’ll hear my lonesome call<\/em>
\nAnd you’ll feel my waiting lips<\/em>
\nBarely touching you at all<\/em><\/p>\n

But it’s only as real<\/em>
\nAs any dream can seem<\/em>
\nI’ll see you<\/em>
\nIn your wildest dreams<\/em><\/p>\n

Free yourself from your inhibitions and let yourself escape into the world of Rauxa…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Rauxa<\/p>\n

On June 9th, Catalonia\u00a0Royal Tulum<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0inaugurates a new concept of theater in the Riviera Maya<\/strong><\/a>. Called Rauxa Tulum<\/strong>, this latest addition to the Mexican Caribbean cultural scene presents a 1920’s vaudeville show in a fittingly retro ambiance.<\/p>\n

\"Rauxa<\/p>\n

True to its namesake, Rauxa<\/strong> is the uninhibited self that takes you on a journey through desire and seduction. Like that inner-voice inside our heads, Rauxa whispers to us fiery and flirtatious, letting us know that her song, her thoughts, her playful nature is us and we are her.<\/p>\n

Rauxa goes through several progressions as the tale of inhibitions and the lack thereof unwind. Non-linear, it’s more the cacophony of lustful voices that dwell within each of us manifesting themselves over and over again, act after act.<\/p>\n

\"Rauxa<\/p>\n

The main protagonist, Rauxa, seems perfectly fit for the part. Sultry, gorgeous, and full of energy, she is the ideal lightning rod to electrify her capable cast of supporting artists.<\/p>\n

Then, there’s the music. While watching the show, and I do admit that I was more than skeptical before it actually got going, I wasn’t sure what impressed me most, the quality of the theater piece itself or the talented jazz musicians who so deftly accompanied each act with precision and creativity.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

As you may have gathered by this point, Rauxa is an adults-only performance. Doors open at 7 p.m. and during the first hour guests are allowed to take in the ambiance of the theater and enjoy some tasty drinks. Tip: make sure you try the Rauxa cocktail, as spicy and tantalizing as the piece itself.<\/p>\n

The show runs from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. and is accompanied by a dinner that provides the perfect balance to the show. Each course comes in a nice presentation, each serving is part of the performance, and,\u00a0of course, it all washes down well with the Rauxa cocktail or the house wine.<\/p>\n

\"Rauxua<\/p>\n

Once all is said and done, and the sultry Rauxa has taken over your senses and loosened your inhibitions, the theater then becomes your stage, a place where you can leave your seny aside and boogie down guided by your inner rauxa.<\/p>\n

And we know you’ll do exactly that. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come here.<\/p>\n
