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.

About Calpulli Mexican Dance Company
Founded in 2003, Calpulli Mexican Dance Company celebrates and explores Mexican and
Mexican-American culture via dance including live music. Based in New York City, Calpulli produces professional performances via its international touring company, designs arts-in-education programming, and leads community outreach activities, most notably Calpulli Community in Queens, Staten Island, Red Bank, NJ and New Rochelle.
The word calpulli (pronounced cawl-pool-lee) is an Aztec word that means “big house,” “clan,” and “family.” We are a calpulli of dancers, musicians, and teachers that, as a non-profit organization, contributes to the city, country, and community we love.

About the Marie Rader Presenting Series
The Marie Rader Presenting Series (MRPS) at Rowan University is a curated performing arts series that uplifts the region’s cultural landscape. Focused on artistic integrity and inclusion, MRPS provides public offerings that reflect the innovation and quality consistent with Rowan University’s overall standards of high achievement and transformation, while providing unprecedented access for the community.
Because of the Marie Rader Series, you don't have to travel to New York or Philadelphia to see some of the most influential leaders in dance, music, theatre and beyond. This series is also designed to introduce you to artists you wouldn't otherwise encounter-- artists who reflect not only the future of performing arts, but who help us envision a better world, right now, right here in South Jersey.
The Marie Rader is made possible in part through generous support from the Henry M. Rowan Family Foundation via the Marie Rader Memorial Fund and through funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.
If you enjoy a Marie Rader experience, please support the series by spreading the word, and if you have the means, we welcome your financial support as well.
THANK YOU.
