The Maya Empire, centered in the tropical lowlands of what is now Guatemala, reached the peak of its power and influence around the sixth century A.D. The Maya excelled at agriculture, pottery, hieroglyph writing, calendar-making and mathematics, and left behind an astonishing amount of impressive architecture and symbolic artwork. Scholars continue to debate what might have caused the dramatic fall of this brilliant civilization. This percussive, richly-harmonic musical chronicle of the rise and fall of the Mayans is ready to plug-in ambitious set design, costumes and character development.
