The multi-dimensional performance combines mesmerizing choreography, costumes, and poetry with a score of original and traditional songs. It’s a night of transcendent color and sound as well as 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.”
