The Catrinas are back at Denver Performing Arts Complex!
In celebration of Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead), Denver Center has collaborated with Mexico City based costume and set designer Ricardo Soltero and Cooperativa Jaen Cartoneria to bring these towering beauties to Denver as part of the Catrinas en mi Ciudad exhibition.
The exhibition features colorful Catrinas (the tall, highly decorated female skeletons), Calaveras (decorative skulls) and various sculptures that pay homage to Mexican culture.
I love all of the color and the cultural aspects of the Catrinas and Calaveras, and especially enjoy the contrast of these pieces in such a modern, urban environment. Each pieces shines and adds a touch of wonder and delight to the complex.
Catrinas en mi Ciudad is on display through November 4th, so there are just a few more days to check it out. Can't make it? Consider this post the next best thing!
