Celebrate the spooky season with Friends of the ACFL! We'll start by exploring an old copper mine before heading out to search for anything that glows, hoots, or creeps in the night. While we walk, we'll get a chance to appreciate our own adaptations for nighttime exploration. Wear sturdy shoes and make sure to bring your headlamps and/or flashlights! NOTE: Please consider your group’s comfort with being out in the woods in the dark, and plan accordingly. We suggest that groups with younger kiddos attend the early hike option to make sure that everyone has a positive nighttime forest experience!

Hasta La Muerte is an enthralling new production celebrating Life and Death, in the spirit of the Indigenous/Mexican practice, known as Day of the Dead. From the imagination of Las Cafeteras, “Hasta La Muerte” is a 2 act, multi-dimensional theatrical and musical performance that explores the stages of grief and loss through the celebration of life and death. The production revisits Mexican folklore to tell new stories, engage old archetypes, challenge patriarchy, uplift the role of curanderas and re-examine our imagination about “death” and the “after-life.” Hasta La Muerte showcases mesmerizing choreography, poetry, combined with a score of original and traditional songs, to showcase a night of transcendent color, sound and a moving invitation to travel through time, rhythm and memory. Hasta La Muerte is a work that embraces the power of storytelling, as a form of processing grief, and sharing love with those in the beyond. Love, not sadness, allows us to celebrate and remember those that have gone and remember that “death is not the end, it is just the beginning. Pre-Concert Talk 45 minutes prior to the concert.
