Calaca, la Catrina

Description

The LaVox Theater brings a slice of Mexican culture to the Swiss stage: “Catrina, the Skeleton” (original title: Calaca, la Catrina) enchants audiences as a colorful, Spanish-language theatrical experience with German surtitles. At the heart of this poetic drama lies the fascinating culture surrounding the Mexican “Day of the Dead” (Día de Muertos). The production by the Zurich theater group tells the moving story of a young man who suddenly finds himself in the surreal realm of the dead. Accompanied by the iconic, elegant skeleton lady Catrina, he embarks on an emotional journey of adventure. Blending melancholy, humor, and a zest for life, the play offers a profound exploration of the transience of existence. A magical, visually stunning evening of theater full of color, music, and emotion that skillfully bridges the gap between cultures. Traditional Mexican specialties will also be served before and after the performance. An absolute highlight this fall for lovers of international contemporary theater.
