“Day of the Dead LIVE!” Preview at Brooklyn Art Haus

The preview of “Day of the Dead LIVE!” in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, was a fantastic and unique experience. This musical, is directed Juanita Cardenas and features the talented pianist Llewellyn Sánchez-Werner, combines diabolical music from European and Mexican classical and popular composers with life-sized puppets and circus performers, all themed around the Mexican holiday, Día de los Muertos. The presence of Consulate General of Mexico in New York, Jorge Islas López, celebrating his birthday with the cast, added to the special occasion.
