The Old Globe Celebrates DÍA DE MUERTOS/DAY OF THE DEAD

The Old Globe will present the past two AXIS community-generated theatre pieces from past coLAB workshops at Say San Diego: Hermanas (Sisters) from 2019, and La Visita de la Abuela (The Grandmother's Visit) from 2018.

Favorite binational artist Lou Best will once again give us a spooky musical performance; an altar creation workshop will be taught by returning guest Verónica Burgess; and the event's host, Teaching Artist Valeria Vega, will teach a traditional papel picado workshop.

We invite friends, families, and the entire community to celebrate online the great Mexican tradition Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos) with a day full of unique activities and artistic expression, as well as the opportunity to enjoy again past performances of community-generated theatre pieces.
