Description

The Catrina and the Whispers of Flowers is a contemporary dance duet inspired by Mexico's iconic Day of the Dead figure, La Catrina. Through evocative movement and traditional Mexican songs, this performance reflects on identity and ancestral memory, elements deeply embedded in the migrant experience. Drawing on threads of tradition, culture, and personal history, it becomes a poetic meditation on the invisible bonds that tie us to our roots, no matter how far we travel.

​

Please note: This performance features songs in Spanish and does not include subtitles.

In the spirit of storytelling, we pause to honour this land's ancient and contemporary narratives. We stand upon the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Just as we celebrate the diverse voices of immigrant and refugee artists, we recognize the First Peoples who have woven this place's first and enduring tales. Their stories are a testament to resilience, creativity, and the power of community. As we come together from many corners of the world, may we always remember, respect, and learn from this land's stories.
