Día de Muertos

Sunday, November 2, 2025

A loving couple falls victim to treachery and is separated, seemingly forever. The young woman enters Mictlán- the underworld of Aztec mythology- where the mesmerizing Catrina reigns as queen. 

Calpulli Mexican Dance Company celebrates the past and present of Mexican-American culture through universal messages of love and hope. Using both folk and classical music and dance, Dìa de Muertos explores a love story that spans the boundary between the living and the departed, and offers a new, family-friendly holiday classic for audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

Runtime is 1 hour 45 minutes with one 5-minute pause and one 15-minute intermission.
