Boda Mexicana from Calpulli Mexican Dance Company at LaGuardia Performing Arts Center

Boda Mexicana tells the story of the union of two people through Mexican songs, dances, customs, rituals and ceremonies. The company of dancers and core of musicians take audiences on a voyage through regional and ethnic traditions. Two lovers travel through time to Mexican towns where we experience the customs of courtship, engagement, the ceremony, and the feast that follows. 

The production was last performed in 2018 in Istanbul, Turkey. It is being restaged by Artistic Director Grisel Pren Monje with music direction by George Saenz.  The restaging of the work is made possible with the support of the Howard Gilman Foundation.
