| La Calaca Flaca |
Tonight, we’re offering an extreme take on Valentine’s Day, celebrating cultural traditions, music, and memories tied together by the exploration of love and loss.
Seabrook Minyo Dance Club draws inspiration from the Japanese spirit festival Obon, while La Calaca Flaca leads a lively Day of the Dead procession from Mexico to the Barnes. Philly poets David Acosta and Susan DiPronio reminisce about lost love with help from Edgar Allan Poe, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and other Victorian writers. Mabeline Diorio (drag songstress Cookie Diorio’s alter ego) dedicates a cabaret performance to a famous former flame. Chinese shadow puppet artist Hua Hua Zhang shares stories that blur the lines between dreams, memories, and reality. And the band Zendog pays tribute to the legendary rock of the Grateful Dead.
Includes access to the Barnes collection.
