Ancestors Beckon in Seasonal Play
Milagro, the Pacific North-
west’s premier Latino arts and
culture organization, continues its
long tradition of Day of the Dead
celebrations with an original pro-
duction, La Muerte Baila.
The play blends traditional
dance, song and music to create
a bilingual celebration where the
lens is on the other side of the
grave. What are the thoughts of
our ancestors and loved ones, as
they face us from the other side?
Do they seek comfort, joy or
grief? Do they celebrate life, even
as we celebrate those who have
died?
Performances begin on Thurs-
day, Oct. 15 and continue through
Nov. 8 at El Centro Milagro, 525
S.E. Stark St. Tickets available
at milagro.org or by calling 503-
236-7253.
It’s the eve of Día
de los Muertos
(Day of the Dead)
in a small town in
the state of Veracruz,
and something is
not right. Milagro,
the Latino arts and
culture organization
in southeast Portland,
presents ‘La Muerte
Baila,’ opening
Thursday with shows
through Nov. 8.
