YoutubeDAY OF THE DEAD – DIA DE LOS MUERTOS 2009
Mexican Feast
performance length: min
The event will be held in Stromovka Park near the Slechtova restaurant from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The old Mexicans perceived life and death in a less antagonistic manner than we do. Life continued in death, while on the other hand death was not the natural end of life but only one chapter in a never-ending story. Life, death and rebirth were only different stages of the endlessly repeating universal process.
The celebrations of the Day of the Dead in Mexico are underlined by the conviction and belief that the quality of this life is to a great extent affected by how we behave towards the dead. Come and celebrate in the Mexican style with us!
Programme of the Day of the Dead: Decoration of candy skulls, tasting the feast food “Mr de Muerto”, explanation of the features of the typical Mexican altar, home altar workshop, making lanterns inspired by the coloured Mexican “papel picados” napkins, theatre performance
