A film by Sergei Eisenstein with a multichannel soundtrack by Rodrigo Sigal

¡Que Viva Mexico!, is Sergei Eisenstein’s iconic, unfinished film project, accompanied by an original soundtrack composed by Rodrigo Sigal and commissioned by UC Riverside.

Although Eisenstein (1898–1948) never completed the film, an edited version of his original footage was released in 1979 and has since become a landmark in film history. ¡Que Viva Mexico! is emblematic of Eisenstein’s transnational aesthetic vision and of a broader historical shift—from the sensory experimentation of modern art to the mass mediation of perception in global culture.

Rodrigo Sigal’s newly composed soundtrack approaches the film from two complementary perspectives. First, he assigns distinct timbral motives to the film’s characters, forging a close identity between image and sound. Second, he structures the music through the film’s visual layers, allowing cinematic montage to inform musical segmentation. The score integrates prehispanic instruments, materials from the 1979 soundtrack, and electroacoustic elements, creating a rich dialogue between past and present. Commissioned by UC Riverside in 2021, this work offers a powerful reimagining of a silent-film classic and resonates with themes of Mexican cultural history and ritual, including connections to Día de los Muertos and other festive traditions.
