Las Cafeteras: Hasta La Muerte

Description

Hasta La Muerte is an enthralling new production celebrating Life and Death, in the spirit of the Indigenous/Mexican practice, known as Day of the Dead. From the imagination of Las Cafeteras, Hasta La Muerte is a 2 act, multi-dimensional theatrical and musical performance that explores the stages of grief and loss through the celebration of life and death. The production revisits Mexican folklore to tell new stories, engage old archetypes, challenge patriarchy, uplift the role of curanderas and re-examine our imagination about “death” and the “after-life.” Hasta La Muerte showcases mesmerizing choreography, poetry, combined with a score of original and traditional songs, to showcase a night of transcendent color, sound and a moving invitation to travel through time, rhythm and memory. Hasta La Muerte is a work that embraces the power of storytelling, as a form of processing grief, and sharing love with those in the beyond. Love, not sadness, allows us to celebrate and remember those that have gone and remember that “death is not the end, it is just the beginning.”
