Hasta La Muerte is a multi-dimensional theatrical and musical performance that honors the Indigenous/Mexican tradition known as Day of the Dead. The two-act performance celebrates life and encourages us to explore a new understanding of the afterlife in a showcase of mesmerizing choreography and stunning costume design. We are taken on a journey through song, theatre and dance with La Catrina, patron saint of the dead. We join La Catrina as she encounters the spirits of La Llorona and La Bruja, weaving in Mexican folklore to tell new stories. Combining a score of original and traditional songs, Hasta La Muerte promises a night of vibrant sound and powerful storytelling.
