Alebrijes at Milagro

For the 30th anniversary of Milagro’s Dia de los Muertos festival, audiences will meet the creator of alebrijes, Pedro Linares, in a playful homage that celebrates his totemic creations. In this fantastical retelling, he attempts to trade his soul with La Muerte to save his brother but quickly learns that you shouldn’t gamble with death. Set in present-day San Luis Potosí, in Xochimilco in 1936, and in an afterlife that looks like a psychedelic Oaxacan jungle, young Pedro realizes the importance of his relationship with his pets as they rescue him from this near-death experience. This performance is suitable for ages 12 and up.
