Journey to Día de Muertos

Calpulli Mexican Dance Company combines traditional dance, folk songs and classical music in a family-friendly story inspired by Día de Muertos. The performance takes place Sunday, November 1 at the Adrienne Arsht Center as part of the Arsht for Miami series. Alongside its theatrical narrative, the program introduces audiences to the history, symbolism and traditions associated with the Mexican holiday.

Día de los Muertos follows Lupita and Raul, a loving couple separated by treachery and death. Lupita journeys into Mictlán, the underworld of Aztec mythology, where she encounters its commanding queen, Catrina, and searches for a path back to her beloved.
