Move the Skeleton: Mexico Revive! A Día de los Muertos Spectacular!
Hold onto your sombreros, folks! This November 10th at The Orpheum Theater in Flagstaff, you’re in for a
cultural treat that’s more vibrant than a piñata at a kid’s birthday party! The Día de los Muertos
celebration is right around the corner, and the only thing more colorful than the altars will be the
cast of characters performing!
Join the award-winning Ballet Folklórico de Colores as they leap into your hearts with
folkloric dances from various Mexican regions including El Estado de México, Oaxaca, Puebla, Jalisco, and
Veracruz. Why, you ask? Because nothing says “Let’s remember our dearly departed” quite like the
rhythmic waddles of dancers dressed in traditional garb! They’ll be showing us that while the dead may be
asleep, the living can still throw a fantastic fiesta!
In addition to the spectacular performances, you can wander over to the authentic altar presented by
Nuestras Raíces. That’s right, you’ll get to remember your loved ones who’ve
passed on — assuming you can remember where you left your car keys. In true Día de los Muertos fashion, it’s
all about honoring the past while enjoying the now, so make sure to bring your favorite memories along with
your dancing shoes!
Craving some traditional Mexican food? You’re in luck! There will be delectable offerings available for
purchase. No, I’m not talking about tacos that taste like cardboard. We’re talking about the real deal!
And let’s not forget the drinks — the Orpheum bar is serving special cocktails that could wake the spirits
themselves! Here’s a tip: if you see a drink called “The Ghostly Compadre,” maybe stick to water instead!
Don’t miss out on this historic cultural celebration, folks! It’s the first time such a dazzling Día de los
Muertos event is gracing Flagstaff and you wouldn’t want to be that person who misses it, right? So gather
your friends, grab a ticket, and let’s make some memories — both for us and those who are watching over from
the other side!
