Día de Muertos, also known as the Day of the Dead, is a rich Mexican cultural tradition that honors and remembers loved ones who have passed away. Calpulli's production brings together stunning dance performances, live music, elaborate costumes, and captivating storytelling to create a mesmerizing theatrical experience.
Highlighting this year's production is the talented Broadway veteran choreographer and dancer, Gabriela Garcia, in the iconic role of La Catrina. Known for Broadway’s Chicago, Garcia, with her grace, precision, and emotional depth, will embody the spirit of La Catrina as she leads audiences through a journey that explores the beauty and significance of this ancient tradition.
Under the new artistic direction of Grisel Pren Monje together with the musical direction of George Saenz and dramaturgy by Gabriela Garcia, this story, co-written by Calpulli co-founder, Alberto Lopez Hererra, will come to life!
