Venue: Centennial Hall
Start Time: 7:00pm

Death is not the end. Music, dance, theatre, and folklore combine in this enthralling new production celebrating life and death in the spirit of the Indigenous/Mexican practice known as Day of the Dead. Step into the colorful, spellbinding realm of Hasta La Muerte by the sonic explosion of Las Cafeteras.

From the imagination of Las Cafeteras, Hasta La Muerte is a vibrant musical adventure exploring the stages of grief and loss through the celebration of life and death. Follow along as La Catrina (Patron Saint of the Dead) returns every Dia de los Muertos to console the living and guide the dead to the afterlife. Watch as she encounters the spirits of La Llorona, La Bruja, and young migrants crossing the borders in a powerfully moving testament to the universal power of storytelling as a form of processing grief and sharing love with those in the beyond.

Join us at 6 PM on the Centennial Hall Patio for our first ever Día de los Muertos fiesta, featuring an unmissable collaborative performance with Las Azaleas mariachi and larger-than-life Red Herring Puppets, a taco bar by Taco Stop, festive snacks and drinks, arts and crafts, and an altar in memory of our passed loved ones. Guests are also invited to bring ofrendas of food, drink, incense, flowers, or photos for our altar outside of Centennial Hall. Join us for a full evening of vibrant fun—we hope to see you there!

Born and raised in East Los Angeles, Las Cafeteras are remixing roots music as modern-day troubadours with their medley of Afro-Mexican rhythms, electronic beats, and powerful rhymes. Their electrifying traditional instrumentation, like the 8-string Jarana, 4-string Requinto, Quijada (donkey jawbone), and Tarima (a wooden platform) echo their deep roots in Chicano pride.
