Grupo de Teatro Indigo (Indigo Theater Group) will present the 9th season of their Day of the Dead play, “Calavera con calavera” (Skulls) on October 28th at 7:30pm at Miller Outdoor Theater. They will make history once again being the first local theater group with Latino immigrant members to present for third consecutive year an all-Spanish play (With English subtitles) at one of Houston’s iconic and historic stage. Last year they had an audience of 4,000 attendees to this spectacle. This will happen thanks to a grant awarded by the Miller Advisory Board.

Along with Houston’s well- known organization FLAS (Fundación Latinoamericana Acción Social), with more than 28 years serving our commu- nity, Grupo de Teatro Indigo is working to bring this cultural spectacle for all audiences in Houston. Also joining this performance are Mariachi Los Caimanes from University of Houston Downtown, Houston Ballet Folkloric, Danza Chicawa Dance, and singer Nancy Iliria. The General Consulate of Mexico has made this event part of their celebration of the Day of the dead.

“Calavera con Calavera” has been presented for 8 consecutive years, and thousands of people have had the opportunity to experience the vibrant colors of Día De Muertos through this theatrical play. In 2019 Houston’s Mayor, Sylvester Turner, presented a proclamation making November 3 rd , Calavera con Calavera Day in our city. The Government of Mexico recognized it by making it part of the Semana Global (World Wide Week) to represent Houston, along with other Day of the Dead events around the world in 2019, 2020, and 2021 and the General

Consulate of Mexico in Houston gave full support, due to the highly cultural content representing Mexico.

Synopsis: It is Day of the Dead, and the Burgos Family is getting ready to celebrate this important date to them. It is a yearly tradition in Hacienda Calvario where they get together to celebrate this festivity. As they share how this celebration has been of great value in their lives, they also explain the meaning of every element presented; like, why altars are made, what objects can decorate them, the food that is eat- en, why it is important to have candles, the traditional “calaveritas” (verses that rhyme), La Catrina (Death) roams around, reminding us that life is beau- tiful, and we need to take advantage of it. Where do we go after we die? That is the main question each character asks among them. It’s a story between life and death where the ending will surprise the audience.
