The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center will celebrate Día de los Muertos with an engaging theatre/dance performance by the Guadalupe Mariachi Academy, Dance Company and Dance Academy on Saturday, November 9, 6:30 – 8:30pm, at the Plaza Guadalupe, 1327 Guadalupe St.  Audience members are encouraged to bring chairs for this free outdoor event.  The celebration will also include an array of original altars open to the public from 6 to 9pm that same evening at the Progreso Community Gallery, 1300 Guadalupe St.

The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center has celebrated Día de los Muertos for over 25 years. This year, the Guadalupe Dance Company and Academy will perform “La Vida de los Muertos”, a free performance at the Plaza Guadalupe.  This original multidisciplinary production involves traditional and contemporary music and dance where the mythological land of the dead is brought to life with fantastical characters, colorful imagery, and elaborate costuming.  The storyline interweaves traditional themes of family, friends, and love with myths and legends told through the generations.  These stories celebrate the experience of being alive and honoring those loved ones who have passed on.
