This Día de los Muertos, we reflect on keeping traditions alive through the arts.

As part of our Centennial programming, we were honored to welcome Ballet Nepantla and their captivating dance production, Mística, to the Carolina Theatre of Durham for three special performances: two for @durham_public_schools students through our Arts Discover Education Series (ADES), and one for the greater Durham community. This powerful work brought together dance and storytelling in a moving celebration of life, memory, and the traditions of Día de los Muertos. We are grateful to @balletnepantlaofficial for sharing their artistry and cultural customs on the Barnes Stage! Here’s to 100 more years of bringing our community together through the arts. 📸: @huthphoto
