The Floricanto Center For The Performing Arts will be transformed into a local cemetery by Danza Floricanto/USA to commemorate their 14th Annual “Fiesta del Día de los Muertos” on Saturday and Sunday November 8th and 9th at 8:00 p.m and 5:00 p.m. respectively. Through a series of vignettes that celebrate and honor this very traditional Holiday– Chicano style-the company, under the direction of Gema Sandoval, will tackle a series of social issues (love, death, teen pregnancy, immigration, abuse of women among others) with humor and respect. Now on its fourteenth year, “Fiesta Del Día De Los Muertos” has become an annual Floricanto tradition that takes place at their home, The Floricanto Center For The Performing Arts. You now have many choices on how to commemorate this celebration of life. Our Fiesta Del Dia de los Muertos program is still intimate, family oriented, affordable and in the barrio.
The Day of the Dead is celebrated in communities throughout South America on November 1 and 2, when families and loved ones traditionally visit their santos difuntos (blessed dead ones), praying for them while they clean their tombs and bring them gifts of what would have been their favorite foods, drinks, and flowers. It is a manifestation of respect; a way to let the departed know they are remembered, celebrate them and ask them to intercede with particularly worrisome earthly problems.
In the foyer of The Floricanto Center on November 8th and 9th the audience will find a traditional ofrenda (community altar), created by Floricanto’s Programs’ Director, Christie Rios to commemorate the dead. There will be pictures of the dance company’s dearly departed, along with their favorite foods, flowers and messages of love. Audiences in attendance will be invited to participate by writing the names of their own departed and place them on the altar, to join in the remembrance. Early arrivals will also be able to have their faces painted.
As the audience moves into the theatre’s “cemetery,” a series of characters who live there will tell their stories and share their concerns through dance. The evening’s guide will be the famous skeleton known as “La Catrina,” first conceived by early 20th-century Mexican graphic artist José Guadalupe Posada, and made famous in the murals of Diego Rivera.
Danza Floricanto/USA’s Fiesta del Dia de Los Muertos takes its inspiration from the very traditional Day of the Dead activities in Mexico-altar offerings of favorite foods and flowers honoring our dead, processions to the grave sites, songs and candles, sugar skulls, skeleton dioramas, and paper cuttings-then gives it a contemporary flavor, designed to entertain and delight the whole family.
