Prepare to be captivated by Hasta La Muerte, a spellbinding performance that intertwines the themes of life and death, inspired by the Indigenous and Mexican traditions of Día de los Muertos.

From the creative minds of Mondavi Center favorites Las Cafeteras, this production breathes new life into Mexican folklore. It shares fresh stories, reinterprets archetypes, challenges patriarchal norms, and elevates the role of curanderas, herbal medicine healers. 

With mesmerizing choreography, poetry, and a score of original and traditional songs, Hasta La Muerte is a celebration of color, sound, and memory. It’s a show that beckons audiences to remember that while we honor those who have departed, “death is not the end; it is just the beginning.”

 

Run time is approximately 90 minutes without an intermission.
